The purpose of O-COCOSDA is to exchange ideas, share information, and discuss regional matters on the creation, utilization, and dissemination of spoken language corpora of oriental languages and also on the assessment methods of speech recognition/synthesis systems as well as promote speech research on oriental languages.
