# Dataset Card for OpenBible Swahili

OpenBible Swahili is a verse-level segmented audio of [Swahili: Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version (Neno)](https://open.bible/bibles/swahili-biblica-audio-bible/). This dataset/project is inspired by [masakhane-io/bibleTTS](https://github.com/masakhane-io/bibleTTS) and [coqui-ai/open-bible-scripts](https://github.com/coqui-ai/open-bible-scripts), with a twist of applying the more recent [Massively Multilingual Speech (MMS)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.13516) for audio alignment.

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

> For a more detailed description, please refer to [OpenBible-TTS](https://github.com/bookbot-hive/OpenBible-TTS/tree/main).

We followed the [CTC Forced Alignment API Tutorial](https://pytorch.org/audio/main/tutorials/ctc_forced_alignment_api_tutorial.html) graciously provided by PyTorch. We used the [Massively Multilingual Speech (MMS)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.13516) model to align the audio to the text.

Like the challenges explained in the MMS paper, we also faced the same noisy audio alignment issues:

- Chapter introduction narration
- Occasional verse number reading
- Digits/number handling

While [masakhane-io/bibleTTS](https://github.com/masakhane-io/bibleTTS) proposes a solution by manually (1) inserting chapter introduction transcript and (2) spells out numbers, we decided to use a mix of MMS' method by (1) inserting `*` token for additional speech (e.g. chapter introduction, verse number reading) and (2) converting digits to words using [num2words](https://github.com/rhasspy/num2words), if available.

The aligned verse text and audio are then segmented into verse-level segments for TTS model training. We recommend reading the MMS paper for better understanding.

## Usage

```py
from datasets import load_dataset

# all 66 books
dataset = load_dataset("bookbot/OpenBible_Swahili", trust_remote_code=True)
# only Genesis
dataset = load_dataset("bookbot/OpenBible_Swahili", "GEN", trust_remote_code=True)
```

## Dataset Structure

### Data Instances

```python
{
    "id": "GEN_001_001",
    "verse_id": "GEN 1:1",
    "audio": {
        "path": "GEN/GEN_001/GEN_001_001.wav",
        "array": array([0.0010376, 0.0007019, 0.00015259, ..., 0.00817871, 0.00482178, 0.01132202]),
        "sampling_rate": 44100,
    },
    "verse_text": "Hapo mwanzo Mungu aliumba mbingu na dunia.",
    "transcript": "hapo mwanzo mungu aliumba mbingu na dunia",
}
```

### Data Fields

- `id`: a unique identifier for the verse, formatted as `BOOK_CHAPTER_VERSE`.
- `verse_id`: the verse identifier, formatted as `BOOK CHAPTER:VERSE`.
- `audio`: a dictionary containing the path to the audio file, the decoded audio array, and the sampling rate.
  - `path`: the path to the audio file.
  - `array`: the decoded audio array.
  - `sampling_rate`: the sampling rate of the audio.
- `verse_text`: the verse text, with proper capitalization and punctuations.
- `transcript`: the lowercased, punctuation-removed version of `verse_text`, used during forced-alignment.
