Schema (metadata.csv)

Each subset has a metadata.csv with these columns:

Field	Description
file_name	Relative path to audio file (e.g., audio/bn/file.wav)
text	Transcript text
lang	ISO 639-1 language code
speaker_id	Speaker identifier
duration	Audio duration in seconds
source	Original data source
emotion	Emotion label
domain	Text domain (wiki, conv, book, news, etc.)
snr_db	Signal-to-noise ratio in dB
silence_ratio	Fraction of silent frames
clipping_ratio	Fraction of clipped samples

Quality Checks Applied

All data has been validated through a 4-check pipeline:

1. SNR + Silence + Duration — reject low SNR (<10dB), excess silence (>35%), out-of-range duration (<1.5s or >30s), clipping (>1%)
2. Speaking Rate — reject abnormal speaking rates (<2 or >25 chars/sec)
3. Text Normalization — Unicode NFC normalization applied
4. Audio Corruption — reject empty, all-zeros, NaN/Inf, DC offset >0.1

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load a specific subset
ds = load_dataset(
    "PalakEngineerMaster/Processed_TTS_Multilingual_Data",
    data_dir="rasa",
    split="train",
)

# Access a sample
sample = ds[0]
print(sample["text"])
# audio is at sample["file_name"]
