Quran Lab Arabic Speech

Broad Arabic speech for next-generation ASR, built from 50,000+ hours of recordings.

Access is restricted to NPL1.2 and the internal Quran Lab team.

Contents

  • Broad Arabic speech in segments of 2 to 20 seconds, cut at natural pauses (silences of 1.5 s or longer are removed), sized for CTC/transducer training and for LLM transcription.
  • Audio is 48 kHz Opus, exactly as the source streamed it (never re-encoded).
  • Full provenance on every segment: source video, channel, title and the segment's position in the original recording.

Recording metadata

metadata/recordings.parquet has one row per source recording (join on video_id): source, duration, the cleaning scores, the shard holding its segments, and dup_of. The same recording is often uploaded by several channels; dup_of names the copy to keep, so rows where it is set can be skipped to avoid training on the same audio twice.
