Hungarian SpeechDat(E) Database

The Hungarian SpeechDat(E) Database (Eastern European Speech Database) comprises 1000 speakers (511 males, 489 females) recorded over the local fixed telephone network.

The speech databases made within the SpeechDat(E) project were validated by SPEX, the Netherlands, to assess their compliance with the SpeechDat(E) format and content specifications.

The speech files are stored as sequences of 8-bit, 8kHz A-law speech files, according to the specifications of SpeechDat(E). Each utterance is stored within a separate file and has an accompanying ASCII SAM label file.
