Indic TTS Unified v1
A large-scale, unified collection of speech data for text-to-speech (TTS) and speech research. This dataset consolidates 17 distinct source datasets into a single, schema-normalized resource covering Indian / South Asian languages, plus major European, African, MENA, and Central Asian languages, with over 13.7 million utterances and 26,000+ hours of audio.
All audio is resampled to 24 kHz mono. Every row follows an identical schema regardless of source, enabling seamless multi-dataset training without per-source preprocessing.

Schema
All configs share the same column schema:
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
audio |
Audio (24 kHz) |
Audio waveform, resampled to 24 kHz mono |
text |
string |
Transcript text. Rasa transcripts may include emotion tags (see below) |
speaker_id |
string |
Speaker identifier (see Speaker ID Policy below) |
source |
string |
Name of the originating dataset (e.g., "kathbath", "rasa") |
language |
string |
Full language name (e.g., "Hindi", "Bengali", "Tamil") |
gender |
string |
"Male", "Female", or "Unknown" |
duration |
float64 |
Audio duration in seconds |
Speaker ID Policy
Speaker identification varies by source dataset:
- Deterministic 8-character hash: For datasets that provide speaker metadata (
kathbath,syspin,ivr,rasa,spicor,synthetic_v1,cv22_sidon,cv22_african,cv22_central_asian,cv22_mena,cv22_de,cv22_es,cv22_fr,cv22_european), thespeaker_idis a deterministic hash derived from the original speaker label, ensuring consistency across rows from the same speaker. - Random UUID: For datasets without reliable speaker metadata (
shrutilipi,msft_indian,indictts), each row receives a unique random UUID. These should not be used for speaker-level grouping.
Duration
Duration values are unfiltered -- no minimum or maximum duration threshold (such as 0.5--60s) has been applied. Downstream consumers should apply their own filtering as needed.
Emotion Tags (Rasa)
The rasa config contains expressive/emotional speech. Transcript text in this subset may include inline emotion tags such as <happy>, <sad>, <angry>, <surprise>, <fear>, <disgust>, and <neutral>. These tags indicate the intended emotion of the utterance and can be used for emotion-conditioned TTS training.

Data Processing
The following normalization steps were applied uniformly across all source datasets during construction:
- Audio resampling: All audio resampled to 24 kHz mono using high-quality resampling.
- Schema alignment: Every source dataset was mapped to the unified 7-column schema described above.
- Speaker hashing: Where speaker labels were available, they were converted to deterministic 8-character hashes for privacy and consistency. Where unavailable, random UUIDs were assigned.
- Split merging: Train and test splits from source datasets were combined into a single
trainsplit per config.
Intended Use
This dataset is designed for:
- Text-to-speech (TTS) model training across Indian languages
- Automatic speech recognition (ASR) pretraining and fine-tuning
- Speaker verification and speaker embedding research (for configs with reliable speaker IDs)
- Multilingual and cross-lingual speech research
- Emotion-conditioned speech synthesis (using the
rasaconfig)
Limitations
- Speaker IDs for shrutilipi, msft_indian, and indictts are random UUIDs and do not represent actual speaker groupings. Do not use these for speaker-level analysis.
- Gender metadata is
"Unknown"for the entireshrutilipiconfig and may be incomplete in other configs. - Duration is unfiltered. Some utterances may be very short (sub-second) or very long. Apply duration filtering for TTS training.
- Text quality varies across sources. Some transcripts may contain noise, transliteration inconsistencies, or incomplete sentences.
- Emotion tags in Rasa are embedded in the transcript text and need to be parsed or stripped depending on the downstream task.
