 =====================================================
 
 `Voxforge`_ offers a collection transcribed speech for use with **Free** and **Open Source Speech Recognition Engines**. 
-In this package, we design a speaker recognition protocol that uses a subset of the **english audio files** (only 6561 files) belonging to **30 speakers**.
-This subset is splitted into three equivalent parts: Training (10 speakers), Development (10 speakers) and Test (10 speakers) sets.
