## 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
