| # Kokoro Science and Microbiology STT Synthetic Dataset |
|
|
| Synthetic English scientific speech generated with `hexgrad/Kokoro-82M`. |
|
|
| ## Current contents |
|
|
| - **8,995 utterances** |
| - **20.000 measured hours** |
| - 16 kHz mono embedded FLAC audio |
| - `text`: desired ASR transcript |
| - `tts_text`: pronunciation-friendly text supplied to Kokoro |
|
|
| ## Corpus generations |
|
|
| - `v1_10h_original`: original approximately 10-hour release |
| - `v2_20h_expansion`: second tranche bringing the dataset to 20 measured hours |
|
|
| ## v2 expansion focus |
|
|
| - mM vs mL and µM vs µL unit/context contrasts |
| - dilution notation and CFU enumeration |
| - microbiology organisms and selective media |
| - antimicrobial susceptibility and MIC language |
| - molecular biology and qPCR terminology |
| - laboratory QC and reporting language |
|

|
| Synthetic speech is useful for domain adaptation, but real-human scientific speech should remain an independent validation target. |
