AniSpeech Dataset
Welcome to the AniSpeech dataset, a continually expanding collection of captioned anime voices brought to you by ShoukanLabs.
- As we label more and more audio, they'll automagically be uploaded here for use, seperated by language
Key Features
LJSpeech Format Compatibility: The captions in this dataset can be converted to (recent changes have sacrificed native LJSpeech support for better captions) comply with the LJSpeech format, and we plan to offer conversion scripts to said format eventually.
Diverse Anime Voices: Train your TTS models on high-quality vocal performances with variations in intonation, timbre, and pitch. The dataset offers a rich assortment of anime voices for creating generalised models.
Ideal for Generalized Models: AniSpeech is a perfect choice for fine-tuning generalized models. With a diverse range of voices, it provides a solid foundation for training models that can handle a wide variety of speaking styles.
Limitations
Single-Voice Fine-Tuning: While AniSpeech excels in training foundation models (due to it's diversity), it's not recommended for fine-tuning on a single voice. Its strength lies in contributing to the development of versatile TTS models.
Dataset Curation: Due to its size, manually curating the entire dataset can be impractical. If you encounter low-quality files or incorrect captions, we encourage you to contribute by creating a pull request to help maintain and improve the dataset.

Your contributions to the AniSpeech dataset are invaluable, and we appreciate your efforts in advancing the field of Text-to-Speech technology.
Happy coding and synthesizing!
