  Speech recognition has received a less attention in Bengali literature due to
the lack of a comprehensive dataset. In this paper, we describe the development
process of the first comprehensive Bengali speech dataset on real numbers. It
comprehends all the possible words that may arise in uttering any Bengali real
number. The corpus has ten speakers from the different regions of Bengali
native people. It comprises of more than two thousands of speech samples in a
total duration of closed to four hours. We also provide a deep analysis of our
corpus, highlight some of the notable features of it, and finally evaluate the
performances of two of the notable Bengali speech recognizers on it.
