# Audio8 TTS Realistic - synthetic voice dataset

Synthetic speech generated with [Edge0/Audio8-TTS-Realistic-0.6b](https://huggingface.co/Edge0/Audio8-TTS-Realistic-0.6b).

- **Clips:** 40
- **Total audio:** 0.12 hours
- **Sample rate:** 44100 Hz, mono, 16-bit
- **Clip length:** 8-15 seconds
- **Language:** English
- **Voice:** No reference voice was used, so speakers vary from clip to clip.
- **Text:** written by a small LLM (Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct) unless a custom text file was supplied

## Columns

| column | description |
|---|---|
| `id` | unique clip id |
| `audio` | the waveform (embedded, decoded by `datasets`) |
| `text` | the spoken text |
| `language` | language name |
| `duration` | length in seconds |

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("Shadow0482/audio8-tts-realistic", split="train")
print(ds[0]["text"], ds[0]["audio"]["sampling_rate"])
```

## Notes

Fully synthetic audio. Clips were filtered automatically (silence, NaNs, runaway generations) but not
listened to individually, so expect occasional pronunciation errors. Please disclose synthetic audio when you use it.
