MeDial-Speech

MeDial-Speech is a dataset of spoken medical dialogues in English.

Dataset Description

This dataset contains audio recordings of dialogues with corresponding transcriptions and annotations, intended for research in speech recognition, dialogue modelling, and conversational AI.

  • Status: Under preparation
  • Languages: English
  • Features:
    • audio (.wav files): recordings of dialogue turns
    • transcripts (.txt files): manual or automatic transcriptions
    • annotations (.txt files): speech segmentation and speaker role information

Dataset Structure

The dataset is organised as one folder per dialogue. Most annotations are in place, with further annotations and revisions still in progress.
