Fleur Kinyarwanda dataset

Fleur is a multilingual text and audio dataset. The original dataset was created by Google . The dataset can be used when building speech to text, speech to text translation and speech to speech translation. It is a good tool to benchmark speech application especially across languages. As of present Kinyarwanda did not have a fleur dataset hindering opportunities for building Kinyarwanda speech technology.
