+### Dataset Description
+
+<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this dataset is. -->
+
+This dataset provides a reading of the Wikipedia page of Metamorphosis in Cantonese, with slight alterations.
+
+### Issues Encountered & Solution
+
+I encountered the issue of needing to transcribe all spoken text into their corresponding syllables, with tone.
+In order to assure accuracy in transcriptions, I opted to use the Multi-function Chinese Character Database, and manually typed in every character.
+This method also caused the issue of some words having multiple pronunciations, forcing me to discern which pronunciation was accurate for the audio at hand.
+The process was tedious, hence I would reuse transcriptions I had already researched before and words with identical pronunciation, negating the need to find every syllable.
+
+Another issue I encountered was that the recording picked up particularily loud exhalations, which I had resolved by cutting the section out, as these gaps can only be created
+when I am not speaking. There was no other background noise as I had ensured the room was as silent as possible before recording.
