Usage

The first step is to download a copy of the dataset from the official website. Once done, the dataset can be loaded directly through the datasets library by running:

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("bhigy/buckeye_asr", data_dir=<path_to_the_dataset>)

where <path_to_the_dataset> points to the folder where the dataset is stored. An example of path to one of the audio files is then <path_to_the_dataset>/s01/s0101a.wav.
