### Dataset Summary

This CSTR VCTK Corpus includes speech data uttered by 110 English speakers with various accents. Each speaker reads out about 400 sentences, which were selected from a newspaper, the rainbow passage and an elicitation paragraph used for the speech accent archive.

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

A data point comprises the path to the audio file, called `file` and its transcription, called `text`.

```
{
  'speaker_id': 'p225',
  'text_id': '001',
  'text': 'Please call Stella.',
  'age': '23',
  'gender': 'F',
  'accent': 'English',
  'region': 'Southern England',
  'file': '/datasets/downloads/extracted/8ed7dad05dfffdb552a3699777442af8e8ed11e656feb277f35bf9aea448f49e/wav48_silence_trimmed/p225/p225_001_mic1.flac',
  'audio':
    {
      'path': '/datasets/downloads/extracted/8ed7dad05dfffdb552a3699777442af8e8ed11e656feb277f35bf9aea448f49e/wav48_silence_trimmed/p225/p225_001_mic1.flac',
      'array': array([0.00485229, 0.00689697, 0.00619507, ..., 0.00811768, 0.00836182, 0.00854492], dtype=float32),
      'sampling_rate': 48000
    },
  'comment': ''
}
```

Each audio file is a single-channel FLAC with a sample rate of 48000 Hz.

### Data Fields

Each row consists of the following fields:

- `speaker_id`: Speaker ID
- `audio`: Audio recording
- `file`: Path to audio file
- `text`: Text transcription of corresponding audio
- `text_id`: Text ID
- `age`: Speaker's age
- `gender`: Speaker's gender
- `accent`: Speaker's accent
- `region`: Speaker's region, if annotation exists
- `comment`: Miscellaneous comments, if any

### Data Splits
