# Akuapem Multispeaker Audio Transcribed Dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
## Overview |
|
|
The **Akuapem Multispeaker Audio Transcribed** dataset is a collection of speech recordings and their transcriptions in Akuapem Twi, a widely spoken dialect of the Akan language in Ghana. The dataset is designed for training and evaluating automatic speech recognition (ASR) models and other natural language processing (NLP) applications. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Details |
|
|
- **Source**: The dataset is derived from the [Financial Inclusion Speech Dataset](https://github.com/Ashesi-Org/Financial-Inclusion-Speech-Dataset), which focuses on financial conversations in Akuapem Twi. |
|
|
- **Format**: The dataset consists of audio recordings (.wav) and corresponding transcriptions (.txt or .csv). |
|
|
- **Speakers**: Multiple speakers contribute to the dataset, making it useful for speaker-independent ASR models. |
|
|
- **Domain**: Primarily focused on financial and general conversations. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Splits |
|
|
The dataset is divided as follows: |
|
|
- **Train Set**: 90% of the data |
|
|
- **Test Set**: 10% of the data |
|
|
|
|
|
