# Dataset Card for festcat_trimmed_denoised
This is a post-processed version of the Catalan Festcat speech dataset.
The original data can be found [here](http://festcat.talp.cat/ca/download-legacy.php).
Same license is maintained: [Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Spain License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/es/).
## Dataset Details
### Dataset Description
We processed the data of the Catalan Festcat with the following recipe:
- **Trimming:** Long silences from the start and the end of clips have been removed.
- [py-webrtcvad](https://pypi.org/project/webrtcvad/) -> Python interface to the Voice Activity Detector (VAD) developed by Google for the WebRTC.
- **Resampling:** From 48000 Hz to 22050 Hz, which is the most common sampling rate for training TTS models
- Resampler from [CoquiTTS](https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS/tree/dev) framework
- **Denoising:** Although base quality of the audios is high, we could remove some background noise and small artifcats thanks to the CleanUNet denoiser developed by NVIDIA.
- [CleanUNet](https://github.com/NVIDIA/CleanUNet) - [arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.07790)
We kept the same number of wave files, also the original anonymized file names and transcriptions.
## Uses
The purpose of this dataset is mainly for training text-to-speech and automatic speech recognition models in Catalan.
### Languages
The dataset is in Catalan (`ca-ES`).
## Dataset Structure
<!-- This section provides a description of the dataset fields, and additional information about the dataset structure such as criteria used to create the splits, relationships between data points, etc. -->
The dataset consists of a single split, providing audios and transcriptions:
```
DatasetDict({
train: Dataset({
features: ['audio', 'transcription'],
num_rows: 12435
})
})
```
Each data point is structured as:
```
>> data['train'][0]['audio']
{'path': 'upc_ca_eli_204478.wav', 'array': array([ 0.00000000e+00, 0.00000000e+00, -3.05175781e-05, ...,
0.00000000e+00, 0.00000000e+00, -3.05175781e-05]), 'sampling_rate': 22050}
>> data['train'][0]['transcription']
"Què potser el seu fill tenia l'endemà el matí lliure? Si era el cas, el podia convidar a jugar una partideta de golf."
```
### Dataset Splits
- <u>```audio (dict)```</u>: 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].
* path (str): The path to the audio file.
* array (array): Decoded audio array.
* sampling_rate (int): Audio sampling rate.
- <u>```transcription (str)```</u>: The sentence the user was prompted to speak.
## Dataset Creation
### Source Data
*FestCat: Speech Synthesis in Catalan using Festival*
The goal of this dataset is to provide a Catalan Speech Corpora. This corpora
is needed to produce quality synthetic voices in Catalan language. The main propouse of this
voices will be to be used in future voice synthesis applications.
This project has been developed by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) within
the Speech Technology Department (TSC), in the TALP Research Center. This project is included
in the TALP’s FestCat project, which principal objective is to produce an open and high quality
voice synthesizer for Catalan.
The data set has been manually quality checked, but there might still be errors.
