41
+ 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.
