Abstract
We describe read speech and broadcast news corpora collected as part of a multi-year international collaboration for the development of large vocabulary speech recognition systems in the Czech language. Initial investigations into language modeling for Czech automatic speech recognition are described and preliminary recognition results on the read speech corpus are presented.
