Monowave80 is a collection of 80 utterances of nonsense sentences by 27 speakers resident in the NorthWest region of the United States. The characteristics of the recordings are:
perTime="16000"
perSpace="1"
timeUnit="Sec"
spaceUnit=""
timeBias="0"
spaceBias="0"
gransPerFrame="1"
timeOrigin=""
Each utterance is on its own page, with the ALingA file (extension .ala) as an attachment. Version 1 of the attachment interleaves the acoustic signal samples as a Neuro stream, a PHON annotation stream as a LingA stream and a WORD annotation stream as a second LingA stream. The PHON annotation is a phonetic annotation in the International Phonetic Alphabet
.
An undated version of each utterance also interleaves a 2D derived signal.
The track assignment is as follows:
| Track | logical | content |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ALingA | metadata on all the signal and annotation streams |
| 2 | Neuro | acoustic signal |
| 3 | LingA | PHON labels |
| 4 | LingA | WORD labels |
| 201 | Neuro | cochleagram |
As the annotations are edited, they are saved to later versions of the .ala attachment. These later versions do not have the signal stream interleaved. Instead, the annotations reference the signal stream in version 1.
You can use shva to view, hear and annotate an utterance. shva works with native libraries that need to be installed separately. See the instructions.
Each utterance provides a "shva this!" link on its page. Or you can click on the entry in the right column below:
I'm running Java 1.6.0_11 on Windows and cannot launch "shva" on any of the items here.
Here are the errors I'm getting:

Hi Niels,
Unfortunately, at this point, shva runs on Gnu/Linux only. The requirements are here.
Looks like you have a stricter web start, which caught an obsolete codebase link in shva-jni.jnlp. Thanks for catching it. It has been fixed, but you'll still not be able to run shva. Sorry.
