The Spoken Dutch Corpus Project is aimed at the construction of a database of contemporary standard Dutch as spoken by adults in the Netherlands and Flanders. Upon completion, the corpus will contain approximately ten million words, two thirds of which originate from the Netherlands and one third from Flanders. The Spoken Dutch Corpus comprises a large number of samples of (recorded) spoken text. In all about 1,000 hours of speech.
