# MBSpeech MN: Mongolian Biblical Speech Dataset
MBSpeech MN is a Mongolian text-to-speech (TTS) dataset derived from biblical texts. It consists of aligned audio recordings and corresponding sentences in Mongolian. The dataset is suitable for training TTS models and other speech processing applications.

## Usage
To convert the dataset into an LJSpeech–style format for TTS model training:
```python
import os
import csv
import soundfile as sf
from datasets import load_dataset
# Dataset and output configuration
DATASET_NAME = "btsee/mbspeech_mn"
OUTPUT_DIR = "dataset"
WAV_DIR = os.path.join(OUTPUT_DIR, "wavs")
os.makedirs(WAV_DIR, exist_ok=True)
# Load dataset
ds = load_dataset(DATASET_NAME, split="train")
# Export audio files and metadata
with open(os.path.join(OUTPUT_DIR, "metadata.csv"), "w", newline="", encoding="utf-8") as f:
writer = csv.writer(f, delimiter="|")
for idx, item in enumerate(ds):
array = item["audio"]["array"]
sr = item["audio"]["sampling_rate"]
text = item["sentence"]
fname = f"{idx:05d}"
path = os.path.join(WAV_DIR, f"{fname}.wav")
sf.write(path, array, sr, subtype="PCM_16")
writer.writerow([fname, text])
```
