# TUNIFRA: A Tunisian Arabic Speech Corpus with Orthographic Transcriptions and French Translations

We introduce TUNIFRA, a novel and comprehensive corpus developed to advance research in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
|
| 42 |
+
and Speech-to-Text Translation (STT) for Tunisian Arabic, a notably low-resourced language variety.
|
| 43 |
+
The TUNIFRA corpus comprises 15 hours of native Tunisian Arabic speech, carefully transcribed and manually translated into French.
|
| 44 |
+
While the development of ASR and STT systems for major languages is supported by extensive datasets, low-resource languages such
|
| 45 |
+
as Tunisian Arabic face significant challenges due to limited training data, particularly for speech technologies.
|
| 46 |
+
TUNIFRA addresses this gap by offering a valuable resource tailored for both ASR and STT tasks in the Tunisian dialect.
|
| 47 |
+
We describe our methodology for data collection, transcription, and annotation, and present initial baseline results for
|
| 48 |
+
both Tunisian Arabic speech recognition and Tunisian Arabic–French speech translation.
