This ~2.5-hour Single-Speaker Speech corpus has been developed using the same methodologies used in the PhD work carried out by Nawar Halabi at the University of Southampton. The corpus was recorded in a Tehrani accent using a professional studio. Synthesized speech as an output using this corpus has produced a high quality, natural voice.

It is released here under the non-commercial creative commons license specified below. In case further rights are required, or you require consultancy for building Persian speech corpora, please contact Nawar Halabi by email. Thank you for your interest.
