  ## Dataset Overview
78
 
79
- **CoRal** is a comprehensive Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) dataset designed to capture the diversity of the Danish language across various dialects, accents, genders, and age groups. The primary goal of the CoRal dataset is to provide a robust resource for training and evaluating ASR models that can understand and transcribe spoken Danish in all its variations.
 
 
 
 
80
 
81
  ### Key Features
82
 
83
- - **Dialect and Accent Diversity**: The dataset includes speech samples from all major Danish dialects as well as multiple accents, ensuring broad geographical coverage and the inclusion of regional linguistic features.
84
- - **Gender Representation**: Both male and female speakers are well-represented, offering balanced gender diversity.
85
- - **Age Range**: The dataset includes speakers from a wide range of age groups, providing a comprehensive resource for age-agnostic ASR model development.
86
- - **High-Quality Audio**: All recordings are of high quality, ensuring that the dataset can be used for both training and evaluation of high-performance ASR models.

89
 
90
- - `id_recording`: Unique identifier for the recording.
91

- ## Usage
110
-
111
- The CoRal dataset is ideal for training ASR models that need to generalise across different dialects and speaker demographics within the Danish language. Below is an example of how to load and use the dataset with Hugging Face's `datasets` library:
