Tamil Wikimedia Audio — verifiable-text speech corpus

Long-form Tamil audio with article-verified transcripts, harvested from Wikimedia Commons (Spoken Wikipedia / spoken articles) and LibriVox, for fine-tuning speech models (e.g. Shruti via the Needle pipeline).

Splits

file	rows	hours	text
`data/train.jsonl`	27	3.77	verified: matches the linked ta.wikipedia/ta.wikisource article
`data/train_unverified.jsonl`	13	5.27	audio-only (speech, interviews, recitations — no gold text yet)

Sources & licensing

Wikimedia Commons — files from Category:Audio files in Tamil and Spoken-Wikipedia file pages; open licenses only (CC0 / CC BY / CC BY-SA / Public domain). Per-row license, license_url, attribution, and the Commons page_url are preserved in each row.
LibriVox — tiruppavai_nr_librivox (ஆண்டாள்'s திருப்பாவை, 30 verses, public-domain recording); gold text split verbatim from ta.wikisource திருப்பாவை.

Verification model

Commons Ta-<article>-spoken wikipedia/article.ogg rows: gold text = plain-text extract of the ta.wikipedia article the file page explicitly reads (verified_by: commons file page wikitext link).
LibriVox rows: gold text = the 5 verses of that track, split by verse numbers from the single wikisource page (verified_by field records it).
Long-form reads are not word-aligned: one row = one article reading (~1–60 min). Trainer should segment before CTC/seq2seq training.
data/train_unverified.jsonl rows have NO transcript — use for self-supervised pretraining / language-ID only.

Reproduce

Scripts in scripts/ (Commons API discovery → metadata → download → article mapping; LibriVox track download → verse split).
