The database consists of 5,000 speakers who answered several questions (around 10), leading to spontaneous speech, and reading about 28 items from a form supplied by IDIAP.

This form contains several speech sequences, including sentences from different sources (local newspapers, existing corpora, law articles, etc.) to ensure a good phonetic coverage, application words from a defined list of command words, currency amounts, quantities, credit card numbers, spelled words (mainly names), etc.
The database is divided into two subsets: the first one comprises 1,000 speakers and the second one 4,000 speakers (1,000 speakers are not available). Each subset is divided into two subsets: the phonetically rich sentences and the application-oriented data
