# Crimean Tatar Audiobooks

## Dataset Summary

Crimean Tatar Audiobooks is a speech dataset sourced from different sources (public radio stations/youtube channels) containing audiobooks in Crimean Tatar. The dataset comprises recordings of different native fiction books, all read by a single female speaker (for now). The dataset is intended for text-to-speech (TTS) research and development in the Crimean Tatar language. 

## Dataset Structure

**Parts:**  
The dataset contains two main configurations:
- `audiobooks`: Contains the original audiobooks recordings.

**Data Fields:**
- `audio`: The audio file containing the spoken fairytale segment.
- `text`: The corresponding transcription.
- `duration`: The duration of the audio segment in seconds.
- `id`: A unique identifier for each segment within a file.
- `file_id`: A unique identifier for each part of the book.
- `source`: The title of the book.
- `speaker_id`: The id of each reader.

## Data Processing

**Text Processing:**  
- All the text was splited, using razdel library.

**Audio Processing:**  
- All audio was aligned to the text using ctc-forced-aligner library with default model.

**Technical Details:**
|                       |                                    |
|-----------------------|------------------------------------|
| Dataset Type          | speech corpus for TTS              |
| Language              | crh, Crimean Tatar    |
| Speech Style          | scripted monologue                 |
| Content               | fiction books     |
| Audio Parameters      | 32 kHz, 32 bits, mono              |
| File Format           | WAV (PCM)  TXT (UTF-8)             |
| Recording Environment | quiet indoor environment                  |


**Total Duration:**  
- `Books`: 18:22:00 (18 hours, 22 minutes, 00 seconds)

## Usage Considerations

- The dataset was not extensively preprocessed. Users are encouraged to perform additional preprocessing (e.g., normalization, cleaning, or re-segmentation) as needed for their specific applications.
- All texts are written in Cyrillic script.
- A book named "Шамиль Алядин - Теселли" should have more extensive filtering or probable skipping as the texts were slightly different.
