Koumankan4Dyula: A Speech-To-Text Translation Corpus For Dyula Language
Overview
The Koumankan4Dyula corpus consists of approximately 15 hours i.e. 10,929 recordings of Dioula language audio along with the corresponding texts and their translations into French and English. Dioula is a low-resource language spoken by over 16.4 million people in several West African countries. This corpus is part of the Koumankan project, which offers a scalable and cost-effective method to expand the CommonVoice dataset to include the Dyula language and other African languages. It will serve as a benchmark for training models for automatic speech translation in Dioula as well as for automatic speech recognition or machine translation models from Dioula to French and English.
