## Subsets & styles |
|
|
|
### Subset: TV-2021.02-Neutral |
|
This subset contains about 22.000 recordings in a **neutral style**. The recording quality is mixed. Bad USB microphone |
|
or good Rode Podcaster microphone and used a recording chamber. See microphone feature for information. The pronounciation is very clear and slow. |
|
Every word is pronounced very well, but the speech flow is less natural because of very clear recording. |
|
*This subset (in 22kHz samplerate) is also available on Zenodo under [DOI 10.5281/zenodo.5525342](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5525342)* |
|
|
|
### Subset: TV-2022.10-Neutral |
