Contribute software
To contribute new software, please
- create an account and login
- go to the wiki page above corresponding to your application; if it does not exist yet, you may create it
- click on the "Edit" link at the top of the page and add a new section for your software (software is ordered by year of the latest version)
- click on the "Save page" link at the bottom of the page to save your modifications
Please make sure to provide the following information:
- name of the software and year of the latest version
- authors, institution, contact information
- link to the software, ideally including a short demo, and to the external libraries needed
- short description (functionalities, inputs and outputs, programming language, operating system, license, etc) and link to a paper/report describing the software, if any
- whether running on well-known baselines (Aurora-2, Aurora-4, Switchboard, CHiME, etc) is included or requires wrapping by the user
In order to save storage space, please do not upload the software on this wiki, but link it as much as possible from a public repository (e.g., bitbucket, github, sourceforge) or from a stable URL on the website of your institution. If this is not possible, please contact the resources sharing working group.
