    Swiss-German Speecon database
    The Swiss-German Speecon database is divided into 2 sets:
    1) The first set comprises the recordings of 550 adult Swiss-German speakers (273 males, 277 females), recorded over 4 microphone channels in 4 recording environments (office, entertainment, car, public place).
    2) The second set comprises the recordings of 50 child Swiss-German speakers (20 boys, 30 girls), recorded over 4 microphone channels in 1 recording environment (children room).

    This database is partitioned into 27 DVDs (first set) and 3 DVDs (second set).
