 **Benefits of such a dataset**
-- Useful dataset to introduce people to audio-related Machine Learning. It can be used as a simple training and/or evaluation dataset for speech processing tasks.
+- Useful dataset to learn audio-related Machine Learning (automatics speech recognition, text-to-speech, other types of speech processing).
+- It can be used as a simple training and/or evaluation dataset for speech processing tasks.
+- Very easy dataset to train your model on and get good results. With this dataset, you can easily train a model to recognize numbers in your language. 
+- Opens up opportunities for more sophisticated speech processing models for African languages.  
 
 **About the dataset**
