Dataset Description

—Homepage: OpenSLR SLR32

This dataset contains multi-speaker high quality transcribed audio data for four languages of South Africa: Afrikaans (af_za), Sesotho (st_za), Setswana (tn_za) and isiXhosa (xh_za).

The dataset consists of WAV files and a TSV file transcribing the audio. In each folder the file line_index.tsv contains a FileID (which in turn encodes the UserID) and the transcription of the corresponding audio file.

The dataset has had some quality checks, but there might still be errors.

It was collected as a collaboration between North West University and Google.
