Each speaker uttered the following items: * 1 isolated single digit The database also contains additional Swedish specific material for speaker verification purposes and dialectal studies: * 2 sentences for speaker verification purposes, same for all speakers The following age distribution has been obtained: 43 speakers are under 16, 429 speakers are between 16 and 30, 208 speakers are between 31 and 45, 241 speakers are between 46 and 60, and 79 speakers are over 60.
