Received Pronunciation Database

The Received Pronunciation (RP) Database is a collection of recorded speech samples that exemplify the standard British accent known as RP. It is used by linguists and researchers to analyze pronunciation, speech patterns, and phonetic features of this accent. By providing consistent and high-quality recordings, the database helps in studying language variation, developing speech recognition technology, and training speech synthesis systems. Essentially, it serves as a reliable reference for understanding and studying the characteristics of the traditional British accent in a systematic way.
