Merged Persian TTS Dataset

Overview

This dataset is a comprehensive collection of Persian speech data, merged from several high-quality sources to facilitate Text-to-Speech (TTS) research and development for the Persian language. It combines audio recordings with their corresponding transcriptions, providing a rich resource for training and evaluating Persian TTS systems.

Preprocessing

The following preprocessing steps were applied to create this merged dataset:

1. Audio files were standardized to a 16000 Hz sampling rate.
2. Text transcriptions were unified under the column name 'sentence'.
3. Only 'audio' and 'sentence' columns were retained from each source dataset.

Usage

This dataset can be easily loaded using the Hugging Face datasets library:

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("mshojaei77/persian_tts_merged")

Applications

This dataset is suitable for various speech-related tasks in Persian, including but not limited to:

• Text-to-Speech (TTS) system development
• Speech recognition model training
• Voice activity detection
• Linguistic analysis of Persian speech patterns
