It contains spontaneous speech of several expositors in TEDx events; most of them are men.

Transcriptions are presented in lowercase with no punctuation marks.

The data collection process was partly developed by the social service program "Desarrollo de Tecnologías del Habla" that depends on the National Autonomous University of Mexico and partly by the CIEMPIESS-UNAM project (http://www.ciempiess.org/)
