## Dataset Description
- **Homepage:** [Crowdsourced high-quality UK and Ireland English Dialect speech data set.](https://www.openslr.org/83/)
- **Repository:** [Google Language Resources and Tools](https://github.com/google/language-resources)
- **Paper:** [Open-source Multi-speaker Corpora of the English Accents in the British Isles](https://aclanthology.org/2020.lrec-1.804/)
### Dataset Summary
This dataset consists of 31 hours of transcribed high-quality audio of English sentences recorded by 120 volunteers speaking with different accents of the British Isles. The dataset is intended for linguistic analysis as well as use for speech technologies. The speakers self-identified as native speakers of Southern England, Midlands, Northern England, Welsh, Scottish and Irish varieties of English.
The recording scripts were curated specifically for accent elicitation, covering a variety of phonological phenomena and providing a high phoneme coverage.
The scripts include pronunciations of global locations, major airlines and common personal names in different accents; and native speaker pronunciations of local words.
Overlapping lines for all speakers were included for idiolect elicitation, which include the same or similar lines with other existing resources such as the [CSTR VCTK corpus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/vctk) and the Speech Accent Archive to allow for easy comparison of personal and regional accents.
The data archives were restructured from the original ones from [OpenSLR](http://www.openslr.org/83) to make it easier to stream.
### Supported Tasks
- `text-to-speech`, `text-to-audio`: The dataset can be used to train a model for Text-To-Speech (TTS).
- `automatic-speech-recognition`, `speaker-identification`: The dataset can also be used to train a model for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). The model is presented with an audio file and asked to transcribe the audio file to written text. The most common evaluation metric is the word error rate (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 Irish male config, simply specify the corresponding language config name (i.e., "irish_male" for Irish male speakers):
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset =load_dataset("ylacombe/english_dialects", "irish_male", 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
dataset =load_dataset("ylacombe/english_dialects", "irish_male", split="train", streaming=True)
print(next(iter(dataset)))
```
#### *Bonus*
You can 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
dataset =load_dataset("ylacombe/english_dialects", "irish_male", split="train")
batch_sampler = BatchSampler(RandomSampler(dataset), batch_size=32, drop_last=False)
dataloader = DataLoader(dataset, batch_sampler=batch_sampler)
```
**Streaming:**
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
dataset =load_dataset("ylacombe/english_dialects", "irish_male", split="train", streaming=True)
dataloader = DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=32)
```

## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
A typical data point comprises the path to the audio file called `audio` and its transcription, called `text`. Some additional information about the speaker and the passage which contains the transcription is provided.
```
{'line_id': 'BI0057', 'audio': {'path': 'irm_02484_00388340153.wav', 'array': array([-1.22070312e-04, -1.52587891e-04, -1.22070312e-04, ...,
1.52587891e-04, 9.15527344e-05, 1.83105469e-04]), 'sampling_rate': 48000}, 'text': 'It is thirteen degrees with drizzle in Exeter', 'speaker_id': 2484}
```
### Data Fields
- audio: A dictionary containing the audio filename, 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]`.
- text: the transcription of the audio file.
- speaker_id: unique id of the speaker. The same speaker id can be found for multiple data samples.
- line_id: unique id of the transcription. The same line id can be found for multiple speakers.
