The “Dai-Onsen(大音泉)” or “ the series of Corpus of Spontaneous Speech in Japanese” (CMSJ/CDSJ/CCSJ/CLSJ/CKSJ/CPSJ) is a database containing a large collection of Japanese speech data with transcription originally developed by Timehill Inc. (2016-2022, Japan).
This is the world's largest speech corpus in the field of free speech and has ever been used for both academic and commercial purposes mainly in US, UK and EU.
This corpus will be used also for a wide variety of research purposes such as linguistics, phonetics, pragmatics, semantics, lexicology, cognitive science, psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology, dialect studies and for the Japanese language studies, the materials for speech therapists or translators, and a sort of creative tips for producing dramas/films.
