Dataset Card for Common Voice Corpus 10.0

Dataset Summary

The Common Voice dataset consists of a unique MP3 and corresponding text file. Many of the 20817 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 15234 validated hours in 96 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 🤗 Speech Bench

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_10_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")
