| Challenge: | Existing data sets in Hungarian are limited in quality and quality . however, it is difficult to train a modern automatic speech recognition system with thousands of hours of transcribed speech. |
| Approach: | They propose to analyze available speech data sets in Hungarian in five categories . they estimate that the available data sets are 2800 hours across 7500 speakers . |
| Outcome: | The available data sets in spoken Hungarian are compared to other languages and are estimated to be 2800 hours in size . however, their distribution and alignment to real-life tasks are far from optimal indicating the need for larger-scale natural language speech data sets. |
