A database of challenging voice utterances collected by the Biometrics Vision and Computing (BVC) group.
The voice dataset is not available for cloning. Please request for the dataset via email.
The Biometrics Visions and Computing (BVC) Gender & Age from voice dataset comprises voice utterances from 526 individuals at one to five voice recordings per individual, of which 336 are males and 190 are females.
It is a challenging and noisy dataset that requires filtering of some white noise present in all the voice samples.
The total number of voice utterances are 3,964 consisting of 2,149 male and 1,815 female voice utterances. Five different speeches of English and the equivalent translated native languages were acquired from the subjects in the first and second sessions. One to five voice recordings in English language and Native languages were acquired from each of the subjects. Twenty-eight (28) different native languages make up the native language set.
