Description	Abstract Introduction Ravnursson Faroese Speech and Transcripts contains 109 hours of Faroese prompted speech from 433 speakers (249 female, 184 male), corresponding transcripts and speaker metadata. It is an extract from the Basic Language Resource Kit 1.0 (BLARK 1.0) developed by the Faroe Islands' Ravnur Project. Data Speech data was collected in 2022. Speakers from all major dialect areas in the Faroe Islands in three age groups -- 15-35, 36-60, and 61+ years -- read texts that included a word list, a phrase list, closed vocabulary readings, and short texts. Recordings also contain spontaneous speech. TASCAM DR-40 Linear PCM audio recorders captured speech data at 48 kHz, downsampled for this corpus. The audio data is divided into train, development, and test sets and is presented as flac compressed, single channel, 16 kHz, 16-bit linear PCM. Recordings were orthographically transcribed and time-stamped. Transcripts and speaker metadata are included in a tab separated file. (2024-08-15)
