Dataset Description
|
| 9 |
+
|
| 10 |
+
This dataset consists of a single audio recording intended for Text-to-Speech (TTS) training. The recording is approximately 3 minutes long and features clear spoken content recorded in a quiet environment, although some background noise was present, which I attempted to reduce.

Process and Challenges
|
| 18 |
+
|
| 19 |
+
During the preparation of this dataset, I encountered several challenges:
|

+
|
| 21 |
+
Segmentation and Labeling:
|
| 22 |
+
|
| 23 |
+
I initially aimed to segment the audio recording into smaller clips based on silence, using the Silence Finder tool in Audacity. However, I found it difficult to understand how to use the labeling function effectively.
|
| 24 |
+
After multiple attempts, I realized I could not achieve the desired segmentation due to my unfamiliarity with Audacity's features. This led me to decide to use the entire recording instead of dividing it into smaller segments.
|
| 25 |
+
Background Noise:
|
| 26 |
+
|
| 27 |
+
While recording, some ambient noises interfered with the clarity of the audio. Even after recording in a quieter space, I found that some noise was still present. I used Audacity to cut out sections with noticeable noise, but this did not eliminate all distractions.
|
| 28 |
+
In light of these challenges, I opted to provide a single complete recording to maintain the integrity of the content instead of risking loss in quality from poor segmentation.
