Research in speech technologies and comparative linguistics depends on access to diverse and accessible speech data. The UCLA Phonetics Lab Archive is one of the earliest multilingual speech corpora, with long-form audio recordings and phonetic transcriptions for 314 languages (Ladefoged et al., 2009). Recently, 95 of these languages were time-aligned with word-level phonetic transcriptions (Li et al., 2021). Here we present VoxAngeles, a corpus of audited phonetic transcriptions and phone-level alignments of the UCLA Phonetics Lab Archive, which uses the 95-language CMU re-release as our starting point. VoxAngeles also includes word- and phone-level segmentations from the original UCLA corpus, as well as phonetic measurements of word and phone durations, vowel formants, and vowel f0. This corpus enhances the usability of the original data, particularly for quantitative phonetic typology, as demonstrated through a case study of vowel intrinsic f0. We also discuss the utility of the VoxAngeles corpus for general research and pedagogy in crosslinguistic phonetics, as well as for low-resource and multilingual speech technologies.

翻译：语音技术研究与比较语言学的发展依赖于对多样化且易获取的语音数据的访问。洛杉矶加州大学语音学实验室语料库是最早的多语种语音语料库之一，包含314种语言的长时段音频录音及音标转写（Ladefoged等，2009）。近期，其中95种语言已实现单词级音标转写的时间对齐（Li等，2021）。本文介绍VoxAngeles语料库，该语料库基于CMU重新发布的95种语言数据，对洛杉矶加州大学语音学实验室语料库进行了审核后的音标转写及音素级对齐，同时保留原始语料库中的单词级与音素级切分结果，并提供单词与音素时长、元音共振峰及元音基频等语音参数量化数据。本语料库提升了原始数据的可用性，尤其适用于量化语音类型学研究（如通过元音内在基频案例研究所示）。此外，我们讨论了VoxAngeles语料库在跨语言语音学通用研究、教学实践以及低资源与多语种语音技术中的应用价值。VoxAngeles语料库采用CC-BY-NC 4.0许可协议，可免费下载使用。
