Dataset Description

SPGISpeech (rhymes with “squeegee-speech”) is a large-scale transcription dataset, freely available for academic research. SPGISpeech is a corpus of 5,000 hours of professionally-transcribed financial audio. SPGISpeech contains a broad cross-section of L1 and L2 English accents, strongly varying audio quality, and both spontaneous and narrated speech. The transcripts have each been cross-checked by multiple professional editors for high accuracy and are fully formatted, including capitalization, punctuation, and denormalization of non-standard words.

SPGISpeech consists of 5,000 hours of recorded company earnings calls and their respective transcriptions. The original calls were split into slices ranging from 5 to 15 seconds in length to allow easy training for speech recognition systems. Calls represent a broad cross-section of international business English; SPGISpeech contains approximately 50,000 speakers, one of the largest numbers of any speech corpus, and offers a variety of L1 and L2 English accents. The format of each WAV file is single channel, 16kHz, 16 bit audio.

Example Usage

The training split has several configurations of various size: S, M, L. See the Section Data Splits for for more information. To download the S configuration:

from datasets import load_dataset

spgi = load_dataset("kensho/spgispeech", "S", use_auth_token=True)

# see structure
print(spgi)

# load audio sample on the fly
audio_input = spgi["train"][0]["audio"]  # first decoded audio sample
transcription = spgi["train"][0]["text"]  # first transcription

It is possible to download only the development or test data:

spgi_dev = load_dataset("kensho/spgispeech", "dev", use_auth_token=True)
spgi_test = load_dataset("kensho/spgispeech", "test", use_auth_token=True)

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

automatic-speech-recognition: The dataset can be used to train a model for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). The model is presented with an audio file and asked to transcribe the audio file to written text. The most common evaluation metric is the word error rate (WER).

Languages

SPGISpeech contains audio and transcription data in business English and offers a variety of L1 and L2 accents.

Data Fields

wav_filename (string) - audio filename (includes parent directory).
audio (Audio feature) - a dictionary containing the path to the audio, the decoded audio array, and the sampling rate. In non-streaming mode (default), the path points to the locally extracted audio. In streaming mode, the path is the relative path of an audio inside its archive (as files are not downloaded and extracted locally).
wav_filesize (int) - size of the file in bytes.
transcript (string) - transcription of the file.

Data Splits

The dataset has three splits: train, evaluation (dev) and test. The train split has three configurations of various sizes: S, M, L. Larger subsets are supersets of smaller subsets, e.g., the L subset contains all the data from the M subset.

Transcribed Subsets Size

Subset	Size
S	22Gb
M	107Gb
L	530Gb
dev	11Gb
test	11Gb

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

To augment the open-source speech-to-text datasets available for R&D.

Source Data

The dataset contains S&P Global company earnings calls.

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

Public earnings calls spanning the time period from 2007-2020 were converted to 16kHz, 16-bit audio.

Who are the source language producers?

English speakers with a diverse selection of accents, including non-native ones (L2), producing both spontaneous and narrated speech.

Annotations

Annotation process

Data is orthographically transcribed according to a professional style guide detailing conventions for capitalization, punctuation, denormalization of non-standard words and transcription of disfluencies in spontaneous speech. The transcripts have each been cross-checked by multiple professional editors for high accuracy and are fully formatted.

Full earnings calls last 30-60 minutes in length and are typically transcribed as whole units, without internal timestamps. In order to produce short audio slices suitable for STT training, the files were segmented with Gentle, a double-pass forced aligner, with the beginning and end of each slice of audio imputed by voice activity detection with py-webrtc.

Who are the annotators?

Earning calls are manually transcribed by S&P Global, Inc.

Personal and Sensitive Information

Though earnings calls are public, we nevertheless identified full names with the spaCy en core web large model. We withheld samples containing names that appeared fewer than ten times (7% of total). Full names appearing ten times or more in the data were considered to be public figures and were retained. This necessarily incomplete approach to named entity recognition was complemented with randomized manual spot checks which uncovered no false negatives missed by the automated approach.

Considerations for Using the Data

Social Impact of Dataset

[More Information Needed]

Discussion of Biases

The largest issue inherent with the dataset is that the speaker distribution of SPGISpeech reflects the speaker distribution seen during earning calls. One example issue that stems from this: during earnings calls, close to 90% of speakers are male.

Other Known Limitations

Due to formal language seen during earnings calls, the dataset needs augmentation for training systems that transcribe informal speech.
