speechocean762: A non-native English corpus for pronunciation scoring task Dataset Summary speechocean762 is an open-source non-native English speech corpus designed for pronunciation assessment and L2 spoken proficiency modeling. This Hugging Face version provides sentence-level audio and expert scores, organized into standard train / validation / test splits. All speakers are Mandarin L1 learners of English, spanning both children and adults. Each utterance is… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/changelinglab/speechocean-l2eval.
