Dataset Structure
Data Instances
A typical data point comprises the path to the audio file and its sentence.
{
'path': 'dhivehi-shaafiu-speech-train/waves/shafiu_1_d35e8g63.wav',
'sentence': 'ކަމަށާއި އެކަކު އަނެކަކައް އަނގައިގެން ނުބުނާކަމަށް އޭނާ ވިދާޅުވިއެވެ.',
'audio': {
'path': 'dhivehi-shaafiu-speech-train/waves/shafiu_1_d35e8g63.wav',
'array': array([-0.00048828, -0.00018311, -0.00137329, ..., 0.00079346, 0.00091553, 0.00085449], dtype=float32),
'sampling_rate': 16000
},
}
Data Fields
path (string): The path to the audio file.
sentence (string): The transcription for the audio file.
audio (dict): A dictionary containing the path to the downloaded audio file, the decoded audio array, and the sampling rate. Note that when accessing the audio column: dataset[0]["audio"] the audio file is automatically decoded and resampled to dataset.features["audio"].sampling_rate. Decoding and resampling of a large number of audio files might take a significant amount of time. Thus it is important to first query the sample index before the "audio" column, i.e. dataset[0]["audio"] should always be preferred over dataset["audio"][0].
Data Splits
The speech material has been subdivided into portions for train, test and validation.
| Train | Validation | Test | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Utterances | 6657 | 832 | 832 | 8321 |
| Duration | 13:30:13 | 01:44:36 | 01:40:15 | 16:55:04 |

Source Data
Initial Data Collection and Normalization
Data was collected through the AduEhy TTS Management System developed Javaabu. The narrator was shown text snippets one at a time, which were then read and recorded through the browser. Only minimal text normalization has been performed, which involved replacing multiple whitespaces and new lines with single spaces.
