Every submission will be assigned their own unique DOI string to be included here. Abstract The VocADom project aims to provide audio-based interaction technology that lets the users have full control over their home environment and at eases the social inclusion of the elderly and frail population. This paper presents an overview of the project focusing on multimodal corpus acquisition and labelling and on investigated techniques for speech enhancement and understanding.
