An automatic alignment procedure was used to provide alignments of utterances at both the word and phone levels. Each alignment file is named in the following format <SSS><T><EE><UU>.<XXX>; where the suffix XXX is either phn for phone level alignments or wrd at the word level. The alignment files adopt the standard NIST format where each line (of a word file) has the following structure: <START> <END> <WORD> <NEW-LINE>
Example:
One .wrd and a corresponding .phn file exist for each utterance.
