Introduction

Polish Speech Database was developed by VoiceLab. It consists of 263,424 utterances of Polish speech data from 200 speakers, totaling approximately 280 hours, and corresponding transcripts.

Data collection was performed in Poland. Speakers were asked to record themselves for at least 60 minutes from their home computer using a headset while reading text on a website. The text was comprised of sentences covering most speech sounds in Polish.

The database includes speaker metadata. There were 103 male speakers and 97 female speakers. Their ages ranged from 15 years to 60 years of age. Most were in the 15-30 years age range.

Data

Speech data is presented as 16,000 Hz, 16-bit, single channel, flac compressed wav files. Transcripts are UTF-8 encoded plain text.
