This paper introduces a new British English speech database, named the homeService corpus, which has been gathered as part of the
homeService project. This project aims to help users with speech and motor disabilities to operate their home appliances using voice
commands. The audio recorded during such interactions consists of realistic data of speakers with severe dysarthria. The majority of the
homeService corpus is recorded in real home environments where voice control is often the normal means by which users interact with
their devices. The collection of the corpus is motivated by the shortage of realistic dysarthric speech corpora available to the scientific
community. Along with the details on how the data is organised and how it can be accessed, a brief description of the framework used
to make the recordings is provided. Finally, the performance of the homeService automatic recogniser for dysarthric speech trained
with single-speaker data from the corpus is provided as an initial baseline. Access to the homeService corpus is provided through the
dedicated web page at http://mini.dcs.shef.ac.uk/resources/homeservice-corpus/. This will also have the most
updated description of the data. At the time of writing the collection process is still ongoing
