Abstract
Speech corpus being the basic requirement for the development of Automatic speech recognition (ASR) system, it should be done with much accuracy in order to enhance the performance of the system. This paper describes the proposed procedure to abide while collecting the speech corpus of Swahili language from the native and non native speaker for the development of Automatic Speech Recognition system in Swahili language.
