Dhivehi Synthetic Voice and Speech Augmentation Dataset

This dataset is a multi-speaker dataset containing 1.26 million synthetic audio samples (~2,627 hours total). Each sample pairs a Dhivehi sentence with an augmented waveform, created through controlled synthesis, voice-cloning, and heavy acoustic perturbations. The dataset was generated to enable ASR, TTS, and voice-representation research in low-resource Dhivehi, focusing on robustness across pronunciation, prosody, and timbre variance.

Process

—Base text source: sentences from a Dhivehi news corpus.
—TTS model: speech model fine-tuned for Dhivehi phonetics.
—Voice cloning: reference recordings used to condition synthetic speakers.
—Augmentations:
—speed & tempo variation
—dynamic range compression
—pitch shifting (± semitones)
—formant warping & spectral noise
—reverb & background mix-in (random: 50-80 samples added to each subset)
—pronunciation drift simulation
—Generation time: ~36 hours of continuous synthesis.
—Sampling rate: 16 kHz PCM WAV.

Each row in the metadata includes:

Field	Description
audio	Path to .wav file
sentence	Dhivehi text string
speaker_id	Original speaker tag (e.g. fh_00)
subset_id	Merged canonical speaker (e.g. f_00)
gender	male / female
presence	heavy / medium / light (augmentation intensity)

Dataset

Split	Total Samples	Duration (hrs)	Speakers	Avg Len (s)
Female (heavy)	78 625	153.6	5	7.04
Female (medium)	235 862	459.6	15	7.02
Female (light)	157 299	306.8	12	7.02
Male (heavy)	77 639	169.3	5	7.85
Male (medium)	235 871	512.1	15	7.82
Male (light)	471 729	1 026.3	30	7.83

Total: ≈ 1 257 024 samples (≈ 2 627 hours, 82 unique speakers)

Speaker Composition

—Male: ≈ 65 % of samples (45 speakers)
—Female: ≈ 35 % of samples (37 speakers)
—Per-speaker duration: ~30 – 34 hours (balanced)
—Pronunciation depth: each speaker appears under multiple augmentation presets (heavy, medium, light), producing distinct acoustic conditions.

Text Statistics

—Average sentence length: ~118 characters
—Median length: ~112 characters
—Range: 8 – 692 characters (max after token cleanup)
—Texts cover news, politics, society, and general narration topics.

Intended Use

Designed primarily for:

—Fine-tuning and evaluation of Dhivehi TTS systems
—Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) robustness tests
—Speaker embedding and voice transfer experiments
—Cross-speaker adaptation and data-augmentation research

Not recommended for direct human listening or production-grade speech models without validation.
