JCorpusRecorder

Functional Description: JCorpusRecorder is a software for the recording of audio corpora. It provides an easy tool to record with a microphone. The audio input gain is controlled during the recording. From a list of sentences, the output is a set of wav files automatically renamed according to textual information given in input (nationality, speaker language, gender, ...). An easy to use tagging allows for displaying a textual/visual/audio context for guiding the speaker, along with the text of the sentence to pronounce. Several text encodings are enabled (allowing for instance Chinese texts). The sentences can be presented in a random order. The last version can record up to 8 synchronous channels (8 channels under Linux and 2 channels under Windows). The software is developed in Java, and is currently used for the recording of sentences in several projects.
