Batch download of many recordings from the site?

Is there a way to pull a load of recordings?

I am working on a school project at the moment and I’ve chosen to test the accuracy of speech recognition systems.

How can I download 50 unique reference recordings? (For example)

Hi there,

We haven’t published the data yet, but will later this year.

In the meantime, here is a large collection you could use:

Hey Michael.

I’ve downloaded the corpus you link to.

It doesn’t look like the text which is being read is stored alongside the audio data.

This is quite important to me so I can check the accuracy.

I’ve haven’t looked into it, but I know the text is there somewhere, you just might need to write a script to format the data the way you want it.
