OpenSLR 54: Large Nepali ASR training data set (unmodified parquet repackaging)

This is an unofficial repackaging of the official OpenSLR 54 release (SLR54, https://www.openslr.org/54/), converted to parquet so it can be streamed with 🤗 datasets. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenSLR or the original authors. All credit for the data belongs to the original creators (see Citation).

What's inside

• 157,905 utterances, 16 shards: one per original zip (asr_nepali_0.zip … asr_nepali_f.zip)
• audio: the original FLAC bytes, unchanged (not re-encoded, resampled or trimmed)
• utt_id, speaker_id (anonymized), transcription: from the official utt_spk_text.tsv
• One train split: the original release has no train/test split

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("JeevanDai/OpenSLR54-Nepali-ASR-parquet", split="train", streaming=True)

Changes from the original

Only the container format: zip + TSV → parquet. Audio bytes and transcripts are as distributed by OpenSLR.
