Voxforge Toy Database Interface for Bob
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.
