# Nos_Brais-GL: Galician TTS corpus |
|
|
|
|
|
**Galician TTS single-speaker corpus of approximately 18 hours of speech.** |
|
|
|
|
|
Nos_Brais-GL is based on a phonetically and morphosyntactically rich text corpus of 16,121 phrases (approximately 168,000 words) |
|
|
comprising three subcorpora: selected phrases from a corpus compiled by the Nós Project from multi-domain texts and previously |
|
|
used in the [Nos_Celtia-GL](https://huggingface.co/datasets/proxectonos/Nos_Celtia-GL/) TTS corpus; selected phrases from a |
|
|
[previously compiled corpus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/proxectonos/CRPIH_UVigo-GL-Voices/) created by the Grupo de Tecnoloxías |
|
|
Multimedia (GTM) and the Centro Ramón Piñeiro para a Investigación en Humanidades (CRPIH); and, finally, a 500-word phonetically rich |
|
|
single-word subcorpus extracted from the Dicionario de pronuncia da lingua galega. |
|
|
|
|
|
Nos_Brais-GL was recorded in a controlled environment (recording studio) by a professional male voice talent selected among three |
|
|
speakers through a perceptual listening test in which 37 participants assessed the speakers' clarity, prosody, likeability, and |
|
|
language profiency. |
|
|
|
|
|
Audio files are provided in a normalized audio version. |
|
|
|
|
|
The file naming scheme of the audio files consists of a series of lowercase elements indicating the name of the voice (brais), |
|
|
and the type of audio (norm), followed by a 5-digit number identifying the utterance. All components are separated by hypens |
|
|
(e.g. brais-norm-00001.wav). |
|
|
|
|
|
The dataset is divided in two splits, train (containing 16,100 sentences) and test (containing 21 sentences). |
|
|
All WAV files are in the audio directory, divided in subdirectories according to the corresponding split. |
|
|
The audio files are available in 16kHz 16-bit WAV, and amount to approximately 18 hours. |
