# Volga Fairytales TTS Dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Summary |
|
|
|
|
|
Volga Fairytales TTS is a speech dataset containing audio recordings of traditional fairytales in several languages of the Volga region. |
|
|
|
|
|
The original recordings were sourced from [this site](https://xn--80aemcfjckzbis8msb.xn--p1ai/library). |
|
|
|
|
|
The dataset comprises recordings of fairytale texts read by professional actors. The dataset is intended for text-to-speech (TTS) research and development in Turkic and other regional languages including Tatar, Chuvash, Mari, Udmurt, Erzya and Moksha. The dataset also includes Russian translations/recordings, but they are not aligned on a sentence level. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Data Processing |
|
|
|
|
|
**Text Processing:** |
|
|
- All the text was splited, using razdel library. |
|
|
|
|
|
**Audio Processing:** |
|
|
- All audio was aligned to the text as each word had timestamps. |

|
|
- Researchers should be aware of potential variations in speaking styles and background audio conditions. |
