A large number of digitized databases of speech items have been compiled recently for various purposes: for training material; benchmark evaluation of speech products; diagnostic evaluation of speech recognizers etc. (e.g. ESPRIT/SAM EUROM.O [1];DARPA/TIMIT [2]). EUR-ACCOR is unique in that it consists of both articulatory and acoustic data for seven different European languages - English, French, German, Italian, Catalan, Irish Gaelic and Swedish. This database is currently being compiled as part of the ACCOR project ("Articulatory/acoustic correlations in coarticulation processes: a cross-language investigation") within the Basic Research Action framework of ESPRIT II (Action 3279). We will describe in this paper the main features of this multi-lingual articulatory and acoustic database.
