Hi guys,

We have got a request a hopefully some of = you are willing to help us. We are currently studying cognitive science at = the university of osnabrueck and participating in a course called "pra= ctical natural language processing", which is some kind of semester pr= oject in lingusitics.  Our group decided to deal with some speech reco= gnition and because lojban has so nice phonetic features we choose it as ou= r target language,  Unfortunately we discovered that there is very few= (usable) lojban audio data on the web, but we actually need huge amounts o= f them to feed our training algorithms. It would be really cool if some of = you could actually send us some audio data we can work with, if you do so p= lease provide them in the following format:

- 16bit mono, 16khz
- preferable raw or wav data files
- one sent= ence per audio file
- a transcript text file containing one sentence per= line + the name of the audio file in which the sentence was uttered

Everybody who sends as applicable data will be mentioned by name in our= final term paper, which will be published at the end of this month (You se= e will really need those data quick).

Thanks a lot for your effort,<= br> Nico & Thorben
