# ManaTTS-Persian-Speech-Dataset

ManaTTS is the largest publicly accessible single-speaker Persian corpus, comprising approximately 86 hours of audio with a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz. It is released under the open CC-0 license, enabling educational and commercial use. This dataset is a comprehensive speech dataset for the Persian language, collected from the [Nasl-e-Mana](https://naslemana.com/) magazine. It includes a wide range of topics and domains, making it suitable for training high-quality text-to-speech models. The dataset is accompanied by a fully transparent, open-source pipeline for data collection and processing, including tools for audio segmentation and forced alignment.

## Dataset
The ManaTTS dataset can be downloaded from [this link](https://huggingface.co/datasets/MahtaFetrat/Mana-TTS). You can access a smaller, random sample of this dataset in the [sampled data directory](sample_data). These samples were selected to reflect the same distribution of match qualities as the complete dataset. For more details on match qualities, please refer to the paper (link to be updated).

## Acknowledgment

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to [Nasl-e-Mana](https://naslemana.com/), the monthly magazine of the blind community of Iran, for their generosity. Their commitment to openness and collaboration has been instrumental in advancing research and development in speech synthesis. We are especially thankful for their choice to release the data under the Creative Commons CC-0 license, allowing for unrestricted use and distribution.


## Collaboration and Community Impact
We encourage researchers, developers, and the broader community to utilize the resources provided in this project, particularly in the development of high-quality screen readers and other assistive technologies to support the Iranian blind community. By fostering open-source collaboration, we aim to drive innovation and improve accessibility for all.
