+The Norwegian Parliamentary Speech Corpus (NPSC) is a speech corpus made by the Norwegian Language Bank at the National Library of Norway in 2019-2021. The NPSC consists of recordings of speech from Stortinget, the Norwegian parliament, and corresponding orthographic transcriptions to Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk. All transcriptions are done manually by trained linguists or philologists, and the manual transcriptions are subsequently proofread to ensure consistency and accuracy. Entire days of Parliamentary meetings are transcribed in the dataset.

+This repository contains a version of the NPSC tailored for Huggingface. Note that the official release of the dataset, which can be found in [the repository of the Norwegian Language Bank](https://www.nb.no/sprakbanken/ressurskatalog/oai-nb-no-sbr-58/), contains more information that the version found here, including word-level metadata, metadata about the speakers, and detailed documentation.

 ### 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
