# Speech-to-Text Evaluation Dataset
## Dataset Overview
This dataset is designed for evaluating Uzbek speech-to-text (STT) models on real-world conversational speech data. The audio samples were collected from various open Telegram groups, capturing natural voice messages in diverse acoustic conditions and speaking styles.
### Key Statistics
- **Total Samples**: 745 audio files
- **Total Duration**: 1 hour 40 minutes (~100 minutes)
- **Average Duration**: ~8 seconds per sample
- **Source**: Voice messages from various open Telegram groups
- **Transcriptions**: Manually annotated
## Dataset Structure
The dataset is saved as a `datasets.Dataset` object in Arrow format, containing the following fields:
- `name`: Name of audio file
- `audio`: Audio file data (dict with `array`, and `sampling_rate`)
- `transcription`: Ground truth text transcription (manually annotated)
## Loading the Dataset
### Installation
To use this dataset, you need to install the Hugging Face `datasets` library:
```bash
pip install datasets
```
### Basic Loading
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
# Load the dataset from the Arrow files
dataset = load_dataset("OvozifyLabs/asr_evaluate_set")
# View dataset information
print(dataset)
print(f"Number of samples: {len(dataset)}")
```
## Data Characteristics
### Audio Properties
- **Source Domain**: Conversational voice messages from Telegram
- **Variability**: Multiple speakers, diverse acoustic environments
- **Recording Conditions**: Real-world
- **Language**: Uzbek
### Transcription Details
- **Annotation Method**: Manual transcription
- **Quality**: Human-verified ground truth labels
- **Convention**: punctuation removed, lowercased
## Use Cases
This dataset is suitable for:
- Evaluating speech-to-text model performance on conversational speech
- Benchmarking ASR systems on real-world voice messages
- Testing model robustness to varied acoustic conditions
- Comparing different STT models
