+# Common Voices Corpus 20.0 (Romanian)
+<h5 style="font-family: 'Calibri'; margin-bottom: 20px;">
+Common Voices is an open-source dataset of speech recordings created by 
+<a href="https://commonvoice.mozilla.org" target="_blank">Mozilla</a> to improve speech recognition technologies. 
+It consists of crowdsourced voice samples in multiple languages, contributed by volunteers worldwide.
+</h5>
+
+<h5 style="font-family: 'Calibri'; margin-bottom: 20px;">
+<strong>Challenges:</strong> The raw dataset included numerous recordings with incorrect transcriptions 
+or those requiring adjustments, such as sampling rate modifications, conversion to .wav format, and other refinements 
+essential for optimal use in developing and fine-tuning various models.
+</h5>
+
+<h5 style="font-family: 'Calibri'; margin-bottom: 20px;">
+<strong>Processing:</strong> Our team, led by project manager Vișan Ionuț, carefully reviewed and manually corrected the 
+transcriptions of all audio segments, ensuring their conversion into the required format for modern models 
+(16k Hz sampling rate, mono channel, .wav format).

+<h2>Dataset Summary<h2>
+  
+<h5 style="font-family: 'Calibri'; margin-bottom: 2px;">
+<strong>common_voices20_audio: </strong> The folder containing all processed audio segments.
+</h5>
+<h5 style="font-family: 'Calibri'; margin-bottom: 2px;">
+Total number of audio segments: <strong>41,431</strong>.
+</h5>
+<h5 style="font-family: 'Calibri'; margin-bottom: 20px;">
+Total duration of all audio segments combined: approximately <strong>47 hours</strong>.
+</h5>
+
+<h5 style="font-family: 'Calibri'; margin-bottom: 2px;">
+<strong>common_voices20.csv: </strong> Contains metadata for all segments from the common_voices20_audio.
+</h5>
+<h5 style="font-family: 'Calibri'; margin-bottom: 2px;">
+The file contains 41,431 rows and 2 columns:
+</h5>
+<h5 style="font-family: 'Calibri'; margin-bottom: 2px;">
+  <ul>
+    <li><em>audio_file</em>: File names of the processed audio segments from common_voices20_audio.</li>
+    <li><em>transcript</em>: Corresponding text transcriptions for each audio file from common_voices20_audio.</li>
+  </ul>
+</h5>

+<h2>Split<h2>
+<h5 style="font-family: 'Calibri'; margin-bottom: 2px;">
+To split the dataset (common_voices20.csv), we performed an 80-20 split into training and test sets using a seed value of 42, resulting in:
+</h5>
+<h5 style="font-family: 'Calibri'; margin-bottom: 2px;">
+  <ul>
+    <li><em>train_common_voices20.csv</em>: It contains 33,144 of the audio segments.</li>
+    <li><em>test_common_voices20.csv</em>: It contains 8,287 of the audio segments.</li>
+  </ul>
+</h5>
