# Dataset Card for KsponSpeech

## Dataset Description
- **Homepage:** [AIHub KsponSpeech corpus](https://aihub.or.kr/aihubdata/data/view.do?currMenu=115&topMenu=100&aihubDataSe=realm&dataSetSn=123)
- **Paper:** [KsponSpeech: Korean Spontaneous Speech Corpus for Automatic Speech Recognition](https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/10/19/6936)

### Dataset Summary
The KsponSpeech is a large-scale spontaneous speech corpus in Korean. This corpus contains 969 hours of general open-domain dialog utterances, spoken by approximately 2,000 native Korean speakers in a clean environment. The data was collected by recording dialogues between two people conversing freely on various topics, and then manually transcribing the utterances.
Please note that we are only sharing the evaluation set of KsponSpeech, not the entire dataset. The evaluation set consists of two parts: eval_clean and eval_other. Eval_clean comprises 2.6 hours of audio, 3,000 files, and includes 60 speakers (30 male, 30 female). Eval_other comprises 3.8 hours of audio, 3,000 files, and also includes 60 speakers (30 male, 30 female).
(Note: The training data is provided only to domestic users in Korea.)
