Danish Speech Dataset (CoRal 2.0)
Speech tech in general is a growing industry, with an estimated annual compound growth of 16-19% in the next five years. Danish, a small and low-resource language, risks falling behind and missing revenue from this technology.

and status on the Danish Conversational and Read-aloud Speech Dataset project
Speech tech in general is a growing industry, with an estimated annual compound
growth of 16-19% in the next five years. But the majority of speech tech
development is targeted towards high resource languages such as English.
Danish, a small and low-resource language, risks falling behind and missing
revenue from this technology. Modern speech tech is based on ML algorithms,
which require large amounts of data. Lack of Danish data is the main problem
for moving the industry forward.
During this webinar Dan Saattrup Nielsen will outline the purpose of the Danish Conversational and Read-aloud Speech Dataset (CoRal) and give us an update on data and results following up on our previous webinar in December 2023 here.
Martin Carsten Nielsen will be introducing us to Machine Learning, clarify how the models are being trained and share some of the results achieved. Lars Maaløe will share his perspective on the purpose and use of a Danish speech dataset within healthcare, and other sectors, and finally industry and society impact predictions and prospects will be discussed in the panel.
