### Loading the Dataset

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("your-username/librispeech_female")

# Access train and test splits
train_data = dataset['train']
test_data = dataset['test']

# Each sample contains:
# - 'audio': {'array': numpy_array, 'sampling_rate': 24000}
# - 'text': str (normalized transcription)

# Example usage
sample = train_data[0]
audio_array = sample['audio']['array']
transcription = sample['text']
sampling_rate = sample['audio']['sampling_rate']
```

### Direct Training with Transformers

```python
from transformers import Trainer
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load and use directly with Trainer (no preprocessing needed)
dataset = load_dataset("your-username/librispeech_female")
trainer = Trainer(
    train_dataset=dataset['train'],
    eval_dataset=dataset['test'],
    # ... other trainer arguments
)
```
