# Common Voice

[Common Voice](https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en/datasets) is a public domain speech corpus with 11.2K hours of read
speech in 76 languages (the latest version 7.0). We provide examples for building
[Transformer](https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.08895) models on this dataset.


## Data preparation
[Download](https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en/datasets) and unpack Common Voice v4 to a path `${DATA_ROOT}/${LANG_ID}`.
Create splits and generate audio manifests with
```bash
python -m examples.speech_synthesis.preprocessing.get_common_voice_audio_manifest \
  --data-root ${DATA_ROOT} \
  --lang ${LANG_ID} \
  --output-manifest-root ${AUDIO_MANIFEST_ROOT} --convert-to-wav
```

Then, extract log-Mel spectrograms, generate feature manifest and create data configuration YAML with
```bash
python -m examples.speech_synthesis.preprocessing.get_feature_manifest \
  --audio-manifest-root ${AUDIO_MANIFEST_ROOT} \
  --output-root ${FEATURE_MANIFEST_ROOT} \
  --ipa-vocab --lang ${LANG_ID}
```
where we use phoneme inputs (`--ipa-vocab`) as example.

To denoise audio and trim leading/trailing silence using signal processing based VAD, run
```bash
for SPLIT in dev test train; do
    python -m examples.speech_synthesis.preprocessing.denoise_and_vad_audio \
      --audio-manifest ${AUDIO_MANIFEST_ROOT}/${SPLIT}.audio.tsv \
      --output-dir ${PROCESSED_DATA_ROOT} \
      --denoise --vad --vad-agg-level 2
done
```
