| # Crimean Tatar Audiobooks |
|
|
| ## Dataset Summary |
|
|
| Crimean Tatar Audiobooks is a speech dataset sourced from different sources (public radio stations/youtube channels) containing audiobooks in Crimean Tatar. The dataset comprises recordings of different native fiction books, all read by a single female speaker (for now). The dataset is intended for text-to-speech (TTS) research and development in the Crimean Tatar language. |
|
|
| ## Dataset Structure |
|
|
| **Parts:** |
| The dataset contains two main configurations: |
| - `audiobooks`: Contains the original audiobooks recordings. |
|
|
| **Data Fields:** |
| - `audio`: The audio file containing the spoken fairytale segment. |
| - `text`: The corresponding transcription. |
| - `duration`: The duration of the audio segment in seconds. |
| - `id`: A unique identifier for each segment within a file. |
| - `file_id`: A unique identifier for each part of the book. |
| - `source`: The title of the book. |
| - `speaker_id`: The id of each reader. |
|
|
| ## Data Processing |
|
|
| **Text Processing:** |
| - All the text was splited, using razdel library. |
|
|
| **Audio Processing:** |
| - All audio was aligned to the text using ctc-forced-aligner library with default model. |
|

|
|
| ## Usage Considerations |
|
|
| - The dataset was not extensively preprocessed. Users are encouraged to perform additional preprocessing (e.g., normalization, cleaning, or re-segmentation) as needed for their specific applications. |
| - All texts are written in Cyrillic script. |
| - A book named "Шамиль Алядин - Теселли" should have more extensive filtering or probable skipping as the texts were slightly different. |
