+# Twi Trigrams Speech-Text Parallel Dataset
+
+## Dataset Description
+
+This dataset contains 166156 parallel speech-text pairs for Twi, a language spoken primarily in Ghana. The dataset consists of audio recordings of trigram segments (3-word sequences) paired with their corresponding text transcriptions, making it suitable for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech (TTS) tasks.
+
+### Dataset Summary
+
+- **Language**: Twi - `twi`
+- **Task**: Speech Recognition, Text-to-Speech
+- **Size**: 166156 trigram audio segments > 1KB (small/corrupted files filtered out)
+- **Format**: WAV audio files with corresponding trigram text labels
+- **Segment Type**: Primarily trigrams (3-word sequences), with some bigrams and single words as fallbacks
+- **Modalities**: Audio + Text
+
+### Supported Tasks
+
+- **Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)**: Train models to convert Twi speech to text
+- **Text-to-Speech (TTS)**: Use parallel data for TTS model development
+- **Keyword Spotting**: Identify specific Twi word sequences in audio
+- **N-gram Language Modeling**: Study Twi trigram patterns
+- **Phonetic Analysis**: Study Twi pronunciation patterns in context
+
+## Dataset Structure
+
+### Data Fields
+
+- `audio`: Audio file in WAV format containing a trigram segment
+- `text`: Corresponding text transcription (typically 3 words, sometimes 2 or 1 for shorter segments)
+
+### Data Splits
+
+The dataset contains a single training split with 166156 filtered trigram audio segments.
+
+## Dataset Creation
+
+### Source Data
+
+The audio data has been sourced ethically from consenting contributors. To protect the privacy of the original authors and speakers, specific source information cannot be shared publicly.
+
+### Data Processing
+
+1. **Audio Alignment**: Original audio files were processed using forced alignment to obtain word-level timestamps
+2. **Trigram Segmentation**: Audio was segmented into overlapping trigrams (3-word sequences)
+3. **Fallback Segmentation**: For shorter texts, bigrams or single words were created as needed
+4. **Quality Filtering**:
+   - Segments longer than 30 seconds were excluded
+   - Segments shorter than 0.1 seconds were excluded
+   - Files smaller than 1KB were filtered out to ensure audio quality
+5. **Text Processing**: Text was lowercased and cleaned of end punctuation
+6. **Unique Naming**: Each segment received a unique sequential filename (trigram_XXXXXX.wav)
+
+### Alignment Technology
+
+Audio processing and word-level alignment performed using the [MMS-300M-1130 Forced Aligner](https://huggingface.co/MahmoudAshraf/mms-300m-1130-forced-aligner) tool, which provides accurate timestamp information for creating precise trigram segments.
+
+### Annotations
+
+Text annotations represent the spoken content in each trigram audio segment, with text processing applied for consistency:
+- Lowercased for uniformity
+- End punctuation removed
+- Spaces normalized
+
+## Considerations for Using the Data
+
+### Social Impact of Dataset
+
+This dataset contributes to the preservation and digital representation of Twi, supporting:
+- Language technology development for underrepresented languages
+- Educational resources for Twi language learning
+- Cultural preservation through digital archives
+- N-gram based language modeling research
+
+### Discussion of Biases
+
+- The dataset may reflect the pronunciation patterns and dialects of specific regions or speakers
+- Audio quality and recording conditions may vary across segments
+- Trigram distribution may not be representative of natural Twi language patterns
+- Some segments may contain overlapping content due to the sliding window approach
+
+### Other Known Limitations
+
+- Segment-level rather than full sentence context
+- Potential audio quality variations between segments
+- Regional dialect representation may be uneven
+- Variable segment lengths (primarily 3 words, but includes 2-word and 1-word segments)
+
+## Additional Information
+
+### Dataset Statistics
+
+- **Primary Content**: Trigram segments (3-word sequences)
+- **Fallback Content**: Bigram segments (2-word sequences) and single words
+- **Segment Duration**: 0.1 to 30 seconds
+- **Minimum File Size**: 1KB after processing
