SpeechDat-Like Estonian Database
Conference paper
Abstract
A speech database project has been launched last year, which aims the collection of telephone speech from a large number of speakers for speech and speaker recognition purposes. Up to 2000 speakers are expected to participate in recordings. To achieve this target different recruitment schemes have been implemented. SpeechDat databases, especially Finnish SpeechDat, have been chosen as a prototype for the Estonian database. The paper is a progress report of the project.
