# Fleur Kinyarwanda dataset
Fleur is a multilingual text and audio dataset. The original dataset was created by [Google](https://huggingface.co/datasets/google/fleurs) . The dataset can be used when building speech to text, speech to text translation and speech to speech translation. It is a good tool to benchmark speech application especially across languages. As of present Kinyarwanda did not have a fleur dataset hindering opportunities for building Kinyarwanda speech technology.

This dataset was created by 29 linguists that participated in the Training NLP for Linguist with a focus on Machine translation.
