+
+- The dataset includes a variety of fairytales that showcase cultural and linguistic aspects of the Volga region.
+- The dataset is suitable for training text-to-speech systems, automatic speech recognition, and speech-to-speech translation systems.
+- Researchers should be aware of potential variations in speaking styles and background audio conditions.
