    The database is partitioned into 4 CD-ROMs. Speech samples are stored as sequences of 8 bits 8 kHz A-law, and the data are stored in a SAM file format.

    The whole database consists of 72 hours of speech, with approx. 49 prompted utterances per speaker.

    It was validated and accepted according to the SpeechDat(II) database exchange format.
