Alveo
CancelThe Alveo Virtual Laboratory
Alveo is a Virtual Lab for Human Communication Science.
Alveo provides on-line infrastructure for accessing human communication data sets (speech, texts, music, video, etc.) and for using specialised tools for searching, analysing and annotating that data.
Alveo hosts a number of important speech and language data collections such as Austalk, Mitchell & Delbridge and the MARCS Auditory-Visual Australian corpus. All available through the web and a programmable API.
