+## Overview
+This dataset is part of **LEMAS (Large-scale Extensible Multilingual Audio Suite)**.
+It contains a large-scale training set (150k+ hours) and a curated evaluation set
+(500 utterances per language) covering 10 languages, all with word-level alignment.
+## Fields
+- `key`: unique utterance identifier; the first two characters indicate the language ID
+- `audio`: relative path to the MP3 audio file (in the eval set, this key is renamed to "file_name" for compatibility with the viewer)
+- `dur`: audio duration in seconds
+- `txt`: original transcription
+- `align`: alignment information, including:
+  - `align.txt`: normalized text used for alignment
+  - `align.words`: list of word-level timestamps and confidence scores
+## Methods
+### Train Set
+- The training set is constructed by filtering large-scale aligned audio–text pairs with language- and dataset-specific constraints.
+- URL: [https://huggingface.co/datasets/LEMAS-Project/LEMAS-Dataset-train](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LEMAS-Project/LEMAS-Dataset-train)
+**Filtering rules:**
+- Only samples with successfully extracted word-level alignments are kept; failed alignments are skipped.
+- The average alignment confidence score is greater than a threshold **x**, where **x ∈ [0.2, 0.5]** depending on the source dataset.
+- Audio duration is between **2 and 30 seconds**, and the maximum pause between consecutive words does not exceed **4 seconds**.
+- Text is restricted to supported languages; samples containing characters outside the supported set (10 languages) are removed.
+- The text-to-duration ratio `len(txt) / dur` falls within a language-specific range.

+Words and chars statistics are computed based on the normalized alignment text (`align.txt`).
+### Eval Set
+- The eval set is built by filtering, trimming, and ranking aligned audio–text pairs.
+- URL: [https://huggingface.co/datasets/LEMAS-Project/LEMAS-Dataset-eval](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LEMAS-Project/LEMAS-Dataset-eval)
+**Filtering rules:**
+- Average word-level alignment score > **0.9**
+- Number of aligned words > **5**
+- Duration between **3 and 15 seconds**
+- Sentence-end silence is trimmed to at most **0.2s**
+**Selection:**
+- Samples are ranked by
+  `final_score = edge_gap × density_diff`, where
+  `edge_gap = words[0].start + (dur - words[-1].end)` and
+  `density_diff = |len(align_txt)/dur − global_mean_density|`
