Dataset Card for Annotations of 10K hours of English MLS

This dataset consists in annotations of a 10K hours subset of English version of the Multilingual LibriSpeech (MLS) dataset.

MLS dataset is a large multilingual corpus suitable for speech research. The dataset is derived from read audiobooks from LibriVox and consists of 8 languages - English, German, Dutch, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish. It includes about 44.5K hours of English and a total of about 6K hours for other languages.

This dataset includes an annotation of a 10K hours subset of English MLS. Refers to this dataset card for the other languages.

The text_description column provides natural language annotations on the characteristics of speakers and utterances, that have been generated using the Data-Speech repository.

This dataset was used alongside its original version and LibriTTS-R to train Parler-TTS Mini v0.1. A training recipe is available in the Parler-TTS library.

Usage

Here is an example on how to load the only the train split.

load_dataset("parler-tts/mls-eng-10k-tags_tagged_10k_generated", split="train")

Streaming is also supported.

load_dataset("parler-tts/libritts_r_tags_tagged_10k_generated", streaming=True)

Note: This dataset doesn't actually keep track of the audio column of the original version. You can merge it back to the original dataset using this script from Parler-TTS or, even better, get inspiration from the training script of Parler-TTS, that efficiently process multiple annotated datasets.

Motivation

This dataset is a reproduction of work from the paper Natural language guidance of high-fidelity text-to-speech with synthetic annotations by Dan Lyth and Simon King, from Stability AI and Edinburgh University respectively. It was designed to train the Parler-TTS Mini v0.1 model.

Contrarily to other TTS models, Parler-TTS is a fully open-source release. All of the datasets, pre-processing, training code and weights are released publicly under permissive license, enabling the community to build on our work and develop their own powerful TTS models. Parler-TTS was released alongside:
