# Indic Conversational ASR Dataset

## πŸ“Œ Dataset Overview

This dataset contains high-quality audio samples curated for **Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)** tasks.  

The recordings are optimized for speech recognition and are provided with:

- **Sampling Rate:** 16 kHz – 24 kHz  
- **Bit Depth:** 16-bit  
- **Audio Type:** Non-scripted conversational speech  
- **Format:** Dual-speaker conversations  

---

## 🌏 Supported Languages & Variants

| | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Telugu | Kannada | Malayalam | Bengali (IN – Kolkata) | Bengali (IN – Non-Kolkata) |
| Bengali (BD)| Assamese | Odia | Gujarati | Marathi | Punjabi | Bhojpuri | Haryanvi |
| Tamil | Tamilish | Hinglish | Marvadi | Chhattisgarhi |

---

### πŸ‘₯ Speaker Representation

- Dual-speaker conversational recordings  
- Natural, spontaneous speech  
- Female speaker representation: **~20%–30%**

---

# πŸ›  Dataset Creation Methodology

## πŸ“₯ Data Collection

Speech data was collected through micro-communities across India and neighboring regions, spanning:

- Tier 1 cities  
- Tier 2 cities  
- Tier 3 cities  

This approach ensured:

- Linguistic diversity  
- Regional accent coverage  
- Authentic conversational patterns  

---
