dataset have is bad quality. Have many small files < 1sec. transcription has many errors, English words, punctuation, and unnecessary blanks.
Will the developer fix it ?

Hi,

  1. I have manually checked a few files <1 second, and they appeared to contain valid audio/words. If you point me at specific issues, I'm happy to investigate more.
  2. Transcription was unfortunately done with whisper-small; we are planning to rerun it with whisper-large-v2, and later do some of it manually; the 'quality' column in the transcriptions dataset (currently '1' for all) refers to how good that transcription is.
  3. audio-base (the dataset again which this question is raised) contains the raw audio files; they are complete of course, not post-VAD.
  4. If you can provide more specific guidelines about your needs (min/max segment sizes, other requests), that would help.

At the end of the day, we felt base+VAD are mostly good quality, transcriptions is low quality and will be improved in v2 (hopefully a few weeks).
As an aside, our understanding is that there are usages where transcripts are not necessary.

Note: new release (v2) now has only segments that are 2-29 seconds.
