	- Repository: https://github.com/common-voice/common-voice
	- Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.06670

	### Dataset Summary

	The Common Voice dataset consists of a unique MP3 and corresponding text file.
	Many of the 24210 recorded hours in the dataset also include demographic metadata like age, sex, and accent
	that can help improve the accuracy of speech recognition engines.

	The dataset currently consists of 16413 validated hours in 100 languages, but more voices and languages are always added.
	Take a look at the [Languages](https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en/languages) page to request a language or start contributing.

	### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

	The results for models trained on the Common Voice datasets are available via the
	[🤗 Autoevaluate Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/autoevaluate/leaderboards?dataset=mozilla-foundation%2Fcommon_voice_11_0&only_verified=0&task=automatic-speech-recognition&config=ar&split=test&metric=wer)

	```

	## How to use

	The `datasets` library allows you to load and pre-process your dataset in pure Python, at scale. The dataset can be downloaded and prepared in one call to your local drive by using the `load_dataset` function.

	For example, to download the Hindi config, simply specify the corresponding language config name (i.e., "hi" for Hindi):
	```python
	from datasets import load_dataset

	cv_11 = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0", "hi", split="train")
	```

	Using the datasets library, you can also stream the dataset on-the-fly by adding a `streaming=True` argument to the `load_dataset` function call. Loading a dataset in streaming mode loads individual samples of the dataset at a time, rather than downloading the entire dataset to disk.
	```python
	from datasets import load_dataset

	cv_11 = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0", "hi", split="train", streaming=True)

	print(next(iter(cv_11)))
	```

	Bonus: create a [PyTorch dataloader](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/use_with_pytorch) directly with your own datasets (local/streamed).

	### Local

	```python
	from datasets import load_dataset
	from torch.utils.data.sampler import BatchSampler, RandomSampler

	cv_11 = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0", "hi", split="train")
	batch_sampler = BatchSampler(RandomSampler(cv_11), batch_size=32, drop_last=False)
	dataloader = DataLoader(cv_11, batch_sampler=batch_sampler)
	```

	### Streaming

	```python
	from datasets import load_dataset
	from torch.utils.data import DataLoader

	cv_11 = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0", "hi", split="train")
	dataloader = DataLoader(cv_11, batch_size=32)
	```

	To find out more about loading and preparing audio datasets, head over to [hf.co/blog/audio-datasets](https://huggingface.co/blog/audio-datasets).

	### Example scripts

	Train your own CTC or Seq2Seq Automatic Speech Recognition models on Common Voice 11 with `transformers` - [here](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/examples/pytorch/speech-recognition).

	## Dataset Structure

	### Data Instances

	A typical data point comprises the `path` to the audio file and its `sentence`.
	Additional fields include `accent`, `age`, `client_id`, `up_votes`, `down_votes`, `gender`, `locale` and `segment`.

	```python
	{
	'client_id': 'd59478fbc1ee646a28a3c652a119379939123784d99131b865a89f8b21c81f69276c48bd574b81267d9d1a77b83b43e6d475a6cfc79c232ddbca946ae9c7afc5',
	'path': 'et/clips/common_voice_et_18318995.mp3',
	'audio': {
	'path': 'et/clips/common_voice_et_18318995.mp3',
	'array': array([-0.00048828, -0.00018311, -0.00137329, ..., 0.00079346, 0.00091553, 0.00085449], dtype=float32),
	'sampling_rate': 48000
	},
	'sentence': 'Tasub kokku saada inimestega, keda tunned juba ammust ajast saati.',
	'up_votes': 2,
	'down_votes': 0,
	'age': 'twenties',
	'gender': 'male',
	'accent': '',
	'locale': 'et',
	'segment': ''
	}
	```

	### Data Fields

	`client_id` (`string`): An id for which client (voice) made the recording

	`path` (`string`): The path to the audio file

	`audio` (`dict`): A dictionary containing the path to the downloaded audio file, the decoded audio array, and the sampling rate. Note that when accessing the audio column: `dataset[0]["audio"]` the audio file is automatically decoded and resampled to `dataset.features["audio"].sampling_rate`. Decoding and resampling of a large number of audio files might take a significant amount of time. Thus it is important to first query the sample index before the `"audio"` column, i.e. `dataset[0]["audio"]` should always be preferred over `dataset["audio"][0]`.

	`sentence` (`string`): The sentence the user was prompted to speak

	`up_votes` (`int64`): How many upvotes the audio file has received from reviewers

	`down_votes` (`int64`): How many downvotes the audio file has received from reviewers

	`age` (`string`): The age of the speaker (e.g. `teens`, `twenties`, `fifties`)

	`gender` (`string`): The gender of the speaker

	`accent` (`string`): Accent of the speaker

	`locale` (`string`): The locale of the speaker

	`segment` (`string`): Usually an empty field

	### Data Splits

	The speech material has been subdivided into portions for dev, train, test, validated, invalidated, reported and other.

	The validated data is data that has been validated with reviewers and received upvotes that the data is of high quality.

	The invalidated data is data has been invalidated by reviewers
	and received downvotes indicating that the data is of low quality.

	The reported data is data that has been reported, for different reasons.

	The other data is data that has not yet been reviewed.

	The dev, test, train are all data that has been reviewed, deemed of high quality and split into dev, test and train.

	## Data Preprocessing Recommended by Hugging Face

	The following are data preprocessing steps advised by the Hugging Face team. They are accompanied by an example code snippet that shows how to put them to practice.

	Many examples in this dataset have trailing quotations marks, e.g _“the cat sat on the mat.“_. These trailing quotation marks do not change the actual meaning of the sentence, and it is near impossible to infer whether a sentence is a quotation or not a quotation from audio data alone. In these cases, it is advised to strip the quotation marks, leaving: _the cat sat on the mat_.

	In addition, the majority of training sentences end in punctuation ( . or ? or ! ), whereas just a small proportion do not. In the dev set, almost all sentences end in punctuation. Thus, it is recommended to append a full-stop ( . ) to the end of the small number of training examples that do not end in punctuation.

	```python
	from datasets import load_dataset

	ds = load_dataset("mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0", "en", use_auth_token=True)

	def prepare_dataset(batch):
	"""Function to preprocess the dataset with the .map method"""
	transcription = batch["sentence"]

	if transcription.startswith('"') and transcription.endswith('"'):
	# we can remove trailing quotation marks as they do not affect the transcription
	transcription = transcription[1:-1]

	if transcription[-1] not in [".", "?", "!"]:
	# append a full-stop to sentences that do not end in punctuation
	transcription = transcription + "."

	batch["sentence"] = transcription

	return batch

	ds = ds.map(prepare_dataset, desc="preprocess dataset")
	```
