Abstract In this paper the FAU IISAH corpus and its recording conditions are described:a new speech database consisting of human-machine and human-human interactionrecordings. Beside close-talking microphones for the best possible audioquality of the recorded speech, far-distance microphones were used to acquirethe interaction and communication. The recordings took place during aWizard-of-Oz experiment in the intelligent, senior-adapted house (ISA-House).That is a living room with a speech controlled home assistance system forelderly people, based on a dialogue system, which is able to processspontaneous speech. During the studies in the ISA-House more than eight hoursof interaction data were recorded including 3 hours and 27 minutes ofspontaneous speech. The data were annotated in terms of human-human (off-talk)and human-machine (on-talk) interaction. The test persons used 2891 turns ofoff-talk and 2752 turns of on-talk including 1751 different words. Still inprogress is the analysis under statistical and linguistical aspects.
