Thai Speecon database
The Thai Speecon database is divided into 2 sets: 1) The first set comprises the recordings of 552 adult Thai speakers (273 males, 279 females), recorded over 4 microphone channels in 4 recording environments (office, entertainment, car, public place). 2) The second set comprises the recordings of 50 child Thai speakers (25 boys, 25 girls), recorded over 4 microphone channels in 1 recording environment (children room). This database is partitioned into 36 DVDs (first set) and 4 DVDs (second set). The speech databases made within the Speecon project were validated by SPEX, the Netherlands, to assess their compliance with the Speecon format and content specifications. Each of the four speech channels is recorded at 16 kHz, 16 bit, uncompressed unsigned integers in Intel format (lo-hi byte order). To each signal file corresponds an ASCII SAM label file which contains the relevant descriptive information.
