Creating an Aligned Corpus of Sound and Text: The Multimodal Corpus of Shakespeare and Milton

Manex Agirrezabal

In this work we present a corpus of poems by William Shakespeare and John Milton that have been enriched with readings from the public domain. We have aligned all the lines with their respective audio segments, at the line, word, syllable and phone level, and we have included their scansion. We make a basic visualization platform for these poems and we conclude by conjecturing possible future directions.
