Hindi speech corpora: A review

A benchmark dataset provides insight into the phenomena that generate the data. Hence, it is an essential requirement to conduct research that requires concept discovery from data. In this paper, we examine the current status of 26 (twenty-six) datasets for Hindi speech (or Hindi speech corpora). This paper also aims at studying their impacts on Hindi speech based computer mediated application development. During this study, we discovered that researchers have paid little attention to issues relating to data collection from a realistic environment through mobile phone. Out of the twenty-six Hindi speech corpora reviewed only one is created for speaker recognition, in which conversation speech samples are recorded through mobile phone for noisy as well as clear condition.
