Kids' Speech Corpus

This final release of the Kids' Speech Corpus comprises spontaneous and scripted utterances from children in grades K through 10. All children read approximately 60 items from a total list of 319 phonetically-balanced but simple words, sentences, or digit strings. Each utterance of spontaneous speech begins with a recitation of the alphabet and contains a monologue of about one minute in duration. Orthographic transcriptions of each spontaneous utterance are included, and transcriptions of the scripted utterances are available via table lookup. All files have been verified for accuracy.
The Kids' Speech Corpus was developed to facilitate research about the characteristics of kids' speech at different ages and to train and evaluate recognizers for use in language training and other interactive tasks involving children. Approximately 100 children at each grade (from 1 to 10) level have been recorded.
words, phrases, and fluent speech in a manner that could be repeated for all of the children, regardless of age. This necessitated words and phrases that were simple enough to be mimicked by the youngest children (ages 5 or 6).
