Dataset Summary
The Common Voice dataset consists of a unique MP3 and corresponding text file. Many of the 27141 recorded hours in the dataset also include demographic metadata like age, sex, and accent that can help improve the accuracy of speech recognition engines.
The dataset currently consists of 17689 validated hours in 108 languages, but more voices and languages are always added. Take a look at the Languages page to request a language or start contributing.
Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
The results for models trained on the Common Voice datasets are available via the 🤗 Autoevaluate Leaderboard

How to use
The datasets
library allows you to load and pre-process your dataset in pure Python, at scale. The dataset can be downloaded and prepared in one call to your local drive by using the load_dataset
function.
For example, to download the Hindi config, simply specify the corresponding language config name (i.e., "hi" for Hindi):
from datasets import load_dataset
cv_13 = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_13_0", "hi", split="train")
Using the datasets library, you can also stream the dataset on-the-fly by adding a streaming=True
argument to the load_dataset
function call. Loading a dataset in streaming mode loads individual samples of the dataset at a time, rather than downloading the entire dataset to disk.
from datasets import load_dataset
cv_13 = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_13_0", "hi", split="train", streaming=True)
print(next(iter(cv_13)))
Bonus: create a PyTorch dataloader directly with your own datasets (local/streamed).
Local
from datasets import load_dataset
from torch.utils.data.sampler import BatchSampler, RandomSampler
cv_13 = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_13_0", "hi", split="train")
batch_sampler = BatchSampler(RandomSampler(cv_13), batch_size=32, drop_last=False)
dataloader = DataLoader(cv_13, batch_sampler=batch_sampler)
Streaming
from datasets import load_dataset
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
cv_13 = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_13_0", "hi", split="train")
dataloader = DataLoader(cv_13, batch_size=32)

Dataset Structure
Data Instances
A typical data point comprises the path
to the audio file and its sentence
.
Additional fields include accent
, age
, client_id
, up_votes
, down_votes
, gender
, locale
and segment
.

Data Fields
client_id
(string
): An id for which client (voice) made the recording
path
(string
): The path to the audio file
audio
(dict
): A dictionary containing the path to the downloaded audio file, the decoded audio array, and the sampling rate. Note that when accessing the audio column: dataset[0]["audio"]
the audio file is automatically decoded and resampled to dataset.features["audio"].sampling_rate
. Decoding and resampling of a large number of audio files might take a significant amount of time. Thus it is important to first query the sample index before the "audio"
column, i.e. dataset[0]["audio"]
should always be preferred over dataset["audio"][0]
.
sentence
(string
): The sentence the user was prompted to speak
up_votes
(int64
): How many upvotes the audio file has received from reviewers
down_votes
(int64
): How many downvotes the audio file has received from reviewers
age
(string
): The age of the speaker (e.g. teens
, twenties
, fifties
)
gender
(string
): The gender of the speaker
accent
(string
): Accent of the speaker
locale
(string
): The locale of the speaker
segment
(string
): Usually an empty field
Data Splits
The speech material has been subdivided into portions for dev, train, test, validated, invalidated, reported and other.
The validated data is data that has been validated with reviewers and received upvotes that the data is of high quality.
The invalidated data is data has been invalidated by reviewers and received downvotes indicating that the data is of low quality.
The reported data is data that has been reported, for different reasons.
The other data is data that has not yet been reviewed.
The dev, test, train are all data that has been reviewed, deemed of high quality and split into dev, test and train.
Data Preprocessing Recommended by Hugging Face
The following are data preprocessing steps advised by the Hugging Face team. They are accompanied by an example code snippet that shows how to put them to practice.
Many examples in this dataset have trailing quotations marks, e.g “the cat sat on the mat.“. These trailing quotation marks do not change the actual meaning of the sentence, and it is near impossible to infer whether a sentence is a quotation or not a quotation from audio data alone. In these cases, it is advised to strip the quotation marks, leaving: the cat sat on the mat.
In addition, the majority of training sentences end in punctuation ( . or ? or ! ), whereas just a small proportion do not. In the dev set, almost all sentences end in punctuation. Thus, it is recommended to append a full-stop ( . ) to the end of the small number of training examples that do not end in punctuation.
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_13_0", "en", use_auth_token=True)
def prepare_dataset(batch):
"""Function to preprocess the dataset with the .map method"""
transcription = batch["sentence"]
if transcription.startswith('"') and transcription.endswith('"'):
# we can remove trailing quotation marks as they do not affect the transcription
transcription = transcription[1:-1]
if transcription[-1] not in [".", "?", "!"]:
# append a full-stop to sentences that do not end in punctuation
transcription = transcription + "."
batch["sentence"] = transcription
return batch
ds = ds.map(prepare_dataset, desc="preprocess dataset")
