## Dataset Summary
We present a speech corpus for Classical Arabic Text-to-Speech (ClArTTS) to support the development of end-to-end TTS systems for Arabic. The speech is extracted from a LibriVox audiobook, which is then processed, segmented, and manually transcribed and annotated. The final ClArTTS corpus contains about 12 hours of speech from a single male speaker sampled at 40100 kHz.

## Dataset Description
- **Homepage:** [ClArTTS](http://www.clartts.com/)

## Dataset Structure

A typical data point comprises the name of the audio file, called 'file', its transcription, called `text`, the audio as an array, called 'audio'. Some additional information; sampling rate and audio duration.
