Abstract

The aim of this study is comparing between the existing speeches databases that contain audio files belong to many people who they are different types in personality and another database that the authors did in this research. Whenever we listen to a voice for the first time, we attribute personality traits to the speaker. The process takes place in a few seconds and it is spontaneous and unaware. While the process is not necessarily accurate (attributed traits do not necessarily correspond to the actual traits of the speaker), still it significantly influences our behavior toward others, especially when it comes to social interaction. We create a Syrian speech database that represents a real database to compare it with the standard databases. To introduce to this concept, we define the meaning of personality in speech.
