This paper reports on the recording and planned research activities on recognition of children’s speech in the Marathwada region. The task is quite more difficult than recognition of adult speech for several reasons. High fundamental frequency and formant frequencies change the spectral shape of the speech signal. Also the pronunciation and the use of language differ from adult speech. One more objective is there it is very difficult to identify the voice of male child & female child we dealing these points.
