KWS Smart-Device Commands (20-class)
Merged, length-normalized keyword-spotting dataset for on-device voice control (Nordic nRF5340 + Edge Impulse). Every clip is 16 kHz mono, fixed 2 s, RMS-leveled and silence-padded. 1,447 clips per class (28,940 total). Real CC-BY audio only — no TTS.
- Classes (20): back, call, close, eight, five, four, left, nine, one, right, set_a_timer, seven, six, start, stop, three, two, volume_down, volume_up, zero
- Features:
audio(WAV bytes + path),label(ClassLabel) - Splits: stratified train/test (80/20)
- License: CC-BY 4.0
Usage
from datasets import load_dataset, Audio
import soundfile as sf
import io
ds = load_dataset("snowballlab/20-keywords")
print(ds)
print(ds["train"].features["label"].names)
# Decode one clip with soundfile (no torch needed):
ex = ds["train"][0]
y, sr = sf.read(io.BytesIO(ex["audio"]["bytes"]))
print(y.shape, sr, ds["train"].features["label"].int2str(ex["label"]))
# Or, if you have torchcodec installed:
# ds = ds.cast_column("audio", Audio(sampling_rate=16000))
