	The Norwegian Parliament Speech Corpus (NPSC) is a corpus for training a Norwegian ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) models.
	!!! COULD YOU PLEASE UPDATE THIS? 1-2 paragraphs. FOR PEOPLE NOT BOTHERING TO READ THE ARTICLE!!! We need a real description here. About one paragraph summing up that is on the main web page, and telling how this dataset is the same but different - ie it is in a streaming format... This is X days of transcripts of parliamentary speeches. Each day XX hours. Most without any manuscript. They are split into XXXXX based on.... The id allows you to combine this into single sound files....

	## How to Use
	```python
	# Loads the 16K Bokmål corpus in streaming mode
	from datasets import load_dataset
	data = load_dataset("NbAiLab/NPSC", config="16K_mp3_bokmaal", streaming=True)
	```

	### Dataset Summary
	The NPSC dataset contains json lines with language training data. Here is an example json line:
	```json

	{
	"sentence_id": 49853,
	"sentence_order": 0,
	"speaker_id": 32,
	"speaker_name": "Olemic Thommessen",
	"sentence_text": "Stortingets møte er lovlig satt",
	"sentence_language_code": "nb-NO",
	"text": "Stortingets møte er lovlig satt",
	"start_time": 320246, "end_time": 323590,
	"normsentence_text": "Stortingets møte er lovlig satt",
	"transsentence_text": "Stortingets møte er lovleg sett",
	"translated": 1,
	"audio": {"path": "audio/20170110-095504_320246_323590.wav",
	"array": [.......]
	}

	}


	```
	## Data Fields (!!!!We really need a descrption here - and maybe some cleaning!!!)
	\|id: \| String with id to source of line and a unique identifier\|
	\|:-----------\|:------------\|
	\|sentence_order \| String with order of sentence \|
	\|speaker id \| Integer id of speaker \|
	\| speaker_name \| String name of speaker \|
	\| sentence_text \| String sentence text \|
	\| sentence_language_code \| String sentence text (!!!LIST ALL ALTERNATIVES!!!)\|
	\| text \| String sentence text. This is a copy of "sentence_text". It is included here to make it more convenient to interleave with other datasets.\|
	\| start_time \| int start time \|
	\| end_time \| int end time \|
	\| normsentence_text \| String normalised sentence text \|
	\| transsentence_text \| String translated sentence text \|
	\| translated \| int text translated \|
	\| audio \| audio audio record with 'path',(mp3) 'array','sampling_rate' (48000) \|



	### Dataset Creation
	We are providing a train and a validation split. The standard size of the validation is a single 1GB file, while train is sharded in 1GB chunks.
	All files are gzipped. There is also a test split available for the dataset but this is hidden. Please contact [Per Erik Solberg](mailto:per.erik.solberg@nb.no) for access to the test set. !!!!!Verify that this is correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


	#### Initial Data Collection
	The procedure for the dataset creation is described in detail in our paper.


	## Statistics
	\| Feature \| Value \|
	\|:---------\|-----------:\|
	\| Duration, pauses included \| 140,3 hours\|
	\| Duration, pauses not included \| 125,7 hours \|
	\| Word count \| 1,2 million \|
	\| Sentence count \| 64.531 \|
	\| Language distribution \| Nynorsk: 12,8%\|
	\| \| Bokmål: 87,2%\|
	\| Gender distribution \| Female: 38,3% \|
	\| \| Male: 61.7% \|


	!!!It would be great to know how many hours of Bokmål/Nynorsk/English(?) here!!!!!

	## Considerations for Using the Data
	This corpus contains speech data. All recordings are of parliament members in a public setting, and can be distributed without any restrains.
