Title: ÌròyìnSpeech: A multi-purpose Yorùbá Speech Corpus
(Submitted on 29 Jul 2023 (this version), latest version 27 Mar 2024 (v2))
Abstract: We introduce the \`{I}r\`{o}y\`{i}nSpeech corpus -- a new dataset influenced by a desire to increase the amount of high quality, freely available, contemporary Yor\`{u}b\'{a} speech. We release a multi-purpose dataset that can be used for both TTS and ASR tasks. We curated text sentences from the news and creative writing domains under an open license i.e., CC-BY-4.0 and had multiple speakers record each sentence. We provide 5000 of our utterances to the Common Voice platform to crowdsource transcriptions online. The dataset has 38.5 hours of data in total, recorded by 80 volunteers.
