Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

MSR-86K is an evolving, large-scale multilingual corpus for speech recognition research. The corpus is derived from publicly accessible videos on YouTube, comprising 15 languages and a total of 86,300 hours of transcribed ASR data. We believe that such a large-scale corpus will propel the research in multilingual speech algorithms. MSR-86K doesn't own the copyright of the audios, the copyright remains with the original owners of the video or audio, and the public URL is given for the original video or audio.

Languages

MSR-86K contains labelled (transcribed) data for 15 languages:
