Multilingual speech dataset combining LJSpeech (English) + CSS10 (10 languages) in a consistent LJSpeech format.

Dataset Description

This dataset merges:

• —LJSpeech: High-quality English speech dataset
• —CSS10: A collection of single-speaker speech datasets for 10 languages

All audio files are provided in a consistent format suitable for TTS training.

Features

Each sample contains:

• —audio: Waveform audio sampled at 22,050 Hz
• —text: Original transcription
• —normalized_text: Normalized version of the transcription
• —duration: Audio duration in seconds

A train-test split has been added for each language, where 5% of the data is reserved for testing. This split enables computation of objective metrics for TTS model evaluation.
