#  Cantonese Common Voice 16.1 for Bert-VITS2 fine tuning format

This dataset contains 14.5 hours of validated speech data in Cantonese (yue and zh-hk) from the Common Voice project, but with some cleansing and fixing of common Chinese characters, and used facebook/seamless-m4t-v2-large to cross check the data. The dataset is in the format required for fine-tuning the [Bert-VITS2](https://github.com/fishaudio/Bert-VITS2).

For more detail of cleansing, fixing and filtering, please refer to the [notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1qpRBtdz0KzyjNUmmJ1CmQ29yaBwrACC3).
