Abstract
One of the contributions of this work to the research community is the design, recording and skill annotation of a large database of non-native English speech uttered by speakers from several accent groups. This chapter gives an overview of this database. We also summarize existing non-native speech databases and a provide classification into database types, explain their limitations and the importance of collecting our own database. All important details about data recording setup and properties of the ATR non-native database collected in this work are described in this chapter, some additional information of interest can be found in the appendix.
