# common-voice-scripted-speech-quebec

This dataset is a filtered subset of the [Mozilla Common Voice *Scripted Speech* 25.0 - French](https://mozilladatacollective.com/datasets/cmn5zugst00w3nv07upovf2bg) dataset. It exclusively contains audio clips from speakers with Canadian and Québécois accents.

## Dataset Summary

* **Language:** French (`fr`)
* **Total Clips:** 25,198
* **Total Duration:** 36.83 hours (132,578.64 seconds)
* **License:** [CC-0](https://creativecommons.org/public-domain/cc0/)

## Filtering Criteria

This subset was generated by extracting rows from the original `cv-corpus-25.0-2026-03-09` dataset that match the following criteria:
* `variant` is exactly `"Français d'Amérique du Nord"`
* **OR** `accents` matches any self-reported Canadian/Québécois identifier (e.g., `"Français du Canada"`, `"Québécois"`, `"Français du Québec|Saguenay"`).

## Data Structure
