| A free licensed Persian TTS dataset including 6+ hours of audio-text pairs with subject | |||||
| GPTInformal Persian is a free licensed Persian dataset of audio and text pairs designed for speech synthesis and other speech-related tasks. The dataset has been collected, processed, and annotated as a part of the Mana-TTS project. For details on data processing pipeline and statistics on this dataset, please refer to the paper in the Citation secition. | |||||
| ## Data Source | |||||
| The text for this dataset was generated using GPT4o, with prompts covering a wide range of subjects such as politics and nature. The texts are intentionally crafted in informal Persian. Below is the prompt format used to generate these texts: | |||||
| > Please give me a very long text written in informal Persian. I want it to be mostly about [SUBJECT]. | |||||
| These generated texts were then recorded in a quiet environment. The audio and text files underwent forced alignment using [aeneas](https://github.com/readbeyond/aeneas), resulting in smaller chunks of audio-text pairs as presented in this dataset. | |||||

| ### Data Columns | |||||
| Each Parquet file contains the following columns: | |||||
| - **file name** (`string`): The unique identifier of the audio file. | |||||
| - **transcript** (`string`): The ground-truth transcript of the audio. | |||||
| - **duration** (`float64`): Duration of the audio file in seconds. | |||||
| - **subject** (`string`): The subject used in prompt to get the original text file. | |||||
| - **audio** (`sequence`): The actual audio data. | |||||
| - **samplerate** (`float64`): The sample rate of the audio. | |||||
