This paper describes a project that aims to create a Mandarin speech database for the automobile setting (TAICAR). A group of researchers from several universities and research institutes in Taiwan have participated in the project. The goal is to generate a corpus for the development and testing of various speech-processing techniques. There are six recording sites in this project. Various words, sentences, and spontaneously queries uttered in the vehicular navigation setting have been collected in this project. A preliminary corpus of utterances from 192 speakers was created from utterances generated in different vehicles. The database contains more than 163,000 files, occupying 16.8 gigabytes of disk space.
