Swiss-French SpeechDat(II) FDB-3000
3000 Swiss-French speakers recorded over the Swiss fixed telephone network
The Swiss-French SpeechDat(II) FDB-3000 comprises 3000 Swiss-French speakers (1500 males, 1500 females) recorded over the Swiss fixed telephone network. This database is partitioned into 6 CDs, each of which comprises 500 speakers sessions. The speech databases made within the SpeechDat(II) project were validated by SPEX, the Netherlands, to assess their compliance with the SpeechDat format and content specifications. Speech samples are stored as sequences of 8-bit 8 kHz A-law. Each prompted utterance is stored in a separate file. Each signal file is accompanied by an ASCII SAM label file which contains the relevant descriptive information.
