# RAPNIC Combined Dataset
## Dataset Description
RAPNIC (Reconeixement Automàtic de la Parla per a persones amb Necessitats específIques en Comunicació) is a Catalan speech corpus collected from individuals with speech disorders, specifically cerebral palsy and Down syndrome.
This dataset was collected to develop and improve automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems that are accessible to people with speech disorders who speak Catalan.

- **PILOT**: 160 recordings
### Dataset Statistics
- **Speakers**: 72
- **Recordings**: 720
- **Total Duration**: 1.38 hours
- **Sampling Rate**: 16 kHz
- **Audio Format**: WAV
- **Language**: Catalan (multiple dialects)
### Disorder Distribution
- **Síndrome de Down**: 410 recordings
- **Paràlisi cerebral**: 240 recordings
- **Sense resposta**: 50 recordings
- **Altres trastorns de la parla**: 20 recordings
### Gender Distribution
- **Dona**: 390 recordings
- **Home**: 320 recordings
- **Sense resposta**: 10 recordings
### Dialect Distribution
- **Central (Barcelona, Tarragona)**: 490 recordings
- **Septentrional**: 130 recordings
- **Girona**: 70 recordings

## Data Fields
- `audio`: Audio file (WAV format, 16 kHz)
- `speaker_id`: Unique identifier for each speaker (anonymized)
- `filename`: Original filename of the recording
- `task_id`: Task/prompt identifier
- `prompt`: Text that was read/spoken
- `original_duration`: Duration in seconds before preprocessing
- `trimmed_duration`: Duration in seconds after preprocessing (2s cut from end)
- `category`: Recording category (clean, duplicate, over_threshold)
- `reason`: Additional category information
- `age`: Age range of the speaker
- `gender`: Gender of the speaker
- `disorder`: Type of speech disorder
- `dialect`: Catalan dialect variety
- `province`: Province of residence
- `city`: City of residence
- `hasHelper`: Whether the speaker had assistance during recording
- `data_pull`: Source data collection phase (e.g., PILOT, LREC-PAPER)
## Data Collection
The data was collected using a web-based recording platform adapted from Google's Project Euphonia. Participants recorded themselves reading prompts displayed on the screen.
### Preprocessing
- Each recording has 2 seconds trimmed from the end to remove silence
- Duplicate recordings (same speaker, same task) were identified and marked
- Recordings over 10 seconds were flagged for review
### Data Splits
This is a test upload with 10 samples per speaker.
This dataset includes all recordings (clean, duplicates, and over-threshold).
## Ethical Considerations
- All participants provided informed consent
- Data is anonymized (speaker IDs do not contain personally identifiable information)
- The dataset complies with GDPR regulations
- This dataset should be used to improve accessibility technology for people with speech disorders
