+## Usage Example (Python)
+
+To load the `kachin.tar` dataset using Hugging Face `datasets`:
+
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+dataset = load_dataset(
+    "freococo/kachin_asr_audio",
+    split="train",
+    streaming=True
+)
+
+for sample in dataset:
+
+    print(sample["audio"], sample["original_file"], sample["duration"])
+```
+This loads the audio + JSON metadata from the `.tar` directly using Hugging Face’s streaming interface (WebDataset support).
