Latvian Speech Recognition Corpus

The corpus consists of two parts: an orthographically annotated corpus containing 100 hours of orthographically transcribed audio data and a phonetically annotated corpus containing approx. 4 hours of phonetically transcribed audio data. Metadata files in XML format provide additional details about the speakers (age, gender, education, etc.), including noise levels, speech styles and Latvian language proficiency. The corpus is mainly used for the development of speech recognition software and is not publicly available.
