# Koumankan4Dyula: A Speech-To-Text Translation Corpus For Dyula Language

## Overview
The Koumankan4Dyula corpus consists of approximately 15 hours i.e. 10,929 recordings of Dioula language audio along with the corresponding texts and their translations into French and English. 
Dioula is a low-resource language spoken by over 16.4 million people in several West African countries. 
This corpus is part of the Koumankan project, which offers a scalable and cost-effective method to expand the CommonVoice dataset to include the Dyula language and other African languages. 
It will serve as a benchmark for training models for automatic speech translation in Dioula as well as for automatic speech recognition or machine translation models from Dioula to French and English.
