+
+### 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](https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en/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](https://huggingface.co/spaces/huggingface/hf-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`.
+
+```python
+{
+  'client_id': 'd59478fbc1ee646a28a3c652a119379939123784d99131b865a89f8b21c81f69276c48bd574b81267d9d1a77b83b43e6d475a6cfc79c232ddbca946ae9c7afc5', 
+  'path': 'et/clips/common_voice_et_18318995.mp3', 
+  'audio': {
+    'path': 'et/clips/common_voice_et_18318995.mp3', 
+    'array': array([-0.00048828, -0.00018311, -0.00137329, ...,  0.00079346, 0.00091553,  0.00085449], dtype=float32), 
+    'sampling_rate': 48000
+  }, 
+  'sentence': 'Tasub kokku saada inimestega, keda tunned juba ammust ajast saati.', 
+  'up_votes': 2, 
+  'down_votes': 0, 
+  'age': 'twenties', 
+  'gender': 'male', 
+  'accent': '', 
+  'locale': 'et', 
+  '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.
+
+```python
+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")
+```
