# Thorsten-Voice TV-24kHz-Neutral-tokenised
## Overview
This dataset is a **tokenised German text-to-speech dataset** created for training and fine-tuning the **Orpheus TTS** model family.
It is based on approximately **12,000 speech recordings** from the original **Thorsten-Voice Dataset (2022.10)** and has been **resampled to 24 kHz** and **tokenised using Orpheus TTS preprocessing**.
This dataset is intended for:
- Training and fine-tuning Orpheus-based German TTS models
- Research on neural speech synthesis
- Open, unrestricted TTS experimentation
---
## Dataset Origin
- **Original dataset:** Thorsten-Voice Dataset 2022.10
- **DOI:** https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7265581
- **Language:** German (de)
- **Speaker:** Thorsten (single speaker)
All audio originates from the original Thorsten-Voice corpus and was reprocessed for compatibility with Orpheus TTS.
---
## Processing Details
- Audio resampled to **24,000 Hz**
- Loudness normalized to **-24dB**
- Tokenised using the **Orpheus TTS tokenizer** jupyter notebook (huggingface dataset package < 4)
- Stored as a tokenised dataset ready for training
The tokenisation reflects the **Orpheus TTS codebase as of December 2025**.
Jupyter notebook used to tokenize is attached to this dataset (see files). Thanks to OrpheusTTS for providing.
