Voxforge_ offers a collection of transcribed speech for use with **Free** and **Open Source Speech Recognition Engines**.
In this package, we design a speaker recognition protocol that uses a **small subset of the english audio files** (only 6561 files) belonging to **30 speakers** randomly selected.
This subset is split into three equivalent parts: Training (10 speakers), Development (10 speakers) and Evaluation (10 speakers) sets.
This package is part of the signal-processing and machine learning toolbox
