SPEECON Spanish
The Spanish Speecon database is divided into 2 sets:
- The first set comprises the recordings of 561 adult Spanish speakers (279 males, 282 females), recorded over 4 microphone channels in 4 recording environments (office, entertainment, car, public place).
- The second set comprises the recordings of 55 child Spanish speakers (27 boys, 28 girls), recorded over 4 microphone channels in 1 recording environment (children room).

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.
