+ # Jenny TTS Dataset
26
+
27
+ A high-quality, varied ~30hr voice dataset suitable for training a TTS model.
28
+
29
+ Voice is recorded by Jenny. She's Irish.
30
+
31
+ Material read include:
32
+ - Newspaper headlines
33
+ - Transcripts of various Youtube videos
34
+ - About 2/3 of the book '1984'
35
+ - Some of the book 'Little Women'
36
+ - Wikipedia articles, different topics (philosophy, history, science)
37
+ - Recipes
38
+ - Reddit comments
39
+ - Song lyrics, including rap lyrics
40
+ - Transcripts to the show 'Friends'
41
+
42
+ Audio files are 48khz, 16-bit PCM files, 2 Channels (a single microphone was used.. hmm).
43
+
44
+ Some light preprocessing was done when the text was taken from the raw sources. A breakdown of where different material starts and ends can be reconstructed. Further information to follow.
45

46
+ # Important
47
+
48
+ The audiofiles are raw from the microphone, not trimmed. In some cases there are a few seconds of silence, sometimes a light 'knock' is audible at the beginning of the clip, where Jenny was hitting the start key. These issues will need to be addressed before training a TTS model. I'm a bit short on time these days, help welcome.

Atribution means: the voice must be referred to as "Jenny", and where at all practical, "Jenny (Dioco)". Attribution is not required when distributing the generated clips (although welcome).
