## How to use

We recommend using our dataset in conjunction with the Common Voice Corpus. We have attempted to maintain a consistent structure.

```python
from datasets import load_dataset, DatasetDict, concatenate_datasets, Audio

comm_voice = DatasetDict()
comm_voice["train"] = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_17_0", "cv", split="train+validation", use_auth_token=True)
comm_voice["test"] = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_17_0", "cv", split="test", use_auth_token=True)
comm_voice = comm_voice.remove_columns(["accent", "age", "down_votes", "gender", "segment", "up_votes", "variant"])
comm_voice = comm_voice.cast_column("audio", Audio(sampling_rate=16000))

print(comm_voice)
print(comm_voice["train"][0])

chuvash_voice = DatasetDict()
chuvash_voice = load_dataset("alexantonov/chuvash_voice")
chuvash_voice = chuvash_voice.cast_column("audio", Audio(sampling_rate=16000))

print(chuvash_voice)
print(chuvash_voice["train"][0])


common_voice = DatasetDict({"train": concatenate_datasets([comm_voice["train"], chuvash_voice["train"]]), "test": comm_voice["test"]})

print(common_voice)
```

## Text to Speech

Most of the corpus is a unique voice (**client_id='177'**). Therefore, the corpus can also be used for synthesis tasks.
