HI,

>Could you possibly make the user profile (i.e. gender,dialect, language) a forced option?

The speech submission (backend) validation scripts now perform this check.  This was not always the case and some older submissions might not have been validated...

I'll add this as a feature request in Trac...

> but not all user's have given a language, making it very awkward.

The older submissions do not have a language field... but all speech on the VoxForge repository is grouped by the correct language (regardless of whether the README profile has a language field)... so, for example, if the language field is missing for a submission, but it is in the English folder of the repository, you can safely assume that it is English.

can't seem to see anything at this link... I registered, but it only links to the profile I created on the mathworks site.

thanks,

Ken
