Corpa of Speech (http://cslu.cse.ogi.edu/corpora/)
One of the greatest impacts that Center for Spoken Language Understanding (CSLU) has had on the speech recognition research community (and related fields) is the development and distribution of speech corpora. Since the early 1990s CSLU has been collecting, processing, and distributing corpora worldwide at no cost to acedemic institutions and non-profit organizations.

Developing a successful spoken language system typically requires vast amounts of data, and CSLU has established itself significantly as a collector and distributor of speech corpora. Recognizing that speech corpora are important resources for anyone conducting research in the area of voice processing, CSLU have collected and transcribed telephone and cellular speech data in over 20 languages.
