SRoL - Web-based Resources and Tools used for e-Learning of Languages and Language Technology

The SRoL Web-based spoken language repository and tool collection was developed during several years by the collaboration of groups from the Institute for Computer Science of the Romanian Academy, CERFS Excellence Center in "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iasi and staff of the discipline of Language Technology, Computer Science Faculty, "Al.I. Cuza" University. The web site includes thousands of voice recordings grouped on sections like "Basic sounds of the Romanian language", "Emotional voices", "Specific language processes", "Pathological voices", "Comparison of natural and synthetic speech", "Gnathophonics and Gnathosonics". The recordings are annotated and documented according to proprietary methodology and protocols. Moreover, we included on the site extended documentation on the Romanian language, speech technology, and tools produced by us, for voice analysis. The resources are a part of the CLARIN European Network for Language Resources. The resources and tools are useful in virtual learning for phonetics of the Romanian language, speech technology and medical subjects related to voice. We report on several applications in language learning and voice technology classes.
