| ======== | |
| Any dataset available in NeMo for ASR (:doc:`ASR datasets <../datasets>`) can be used for SSL. | |
| To create your own NeMo compatible datasets, refer to | |
| Custom ASR Data <section-with-manifest-format-explanation>` | |
| section. Note that explicit labels (transcriptions) are not utilized in SSL and hence are optional | |
| when creating datasets for SSL. |
