The majority of the speech is spontaneous, natural speech. The dataset was distributed by Canolfan Bedwyr under a CC0 open license. The original dataset can be found here: link.

Data Fields

audio_filename (string): The name of the audio file within the 'clips' folder

audio_filesize (int64): The size of the 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].

transcript (string): The transcript of the audio clip

duration (duration[ms]): Duration of the clip in milliseconds
