## Overview  
The **Moroccan Darija Wiki Audio Dataset** consists of **551 parallel text and speech samples** of Moroccan Darija sourced from [**Wikipedia Darija**](https://ary.wikipedia.org/) . This dataset is designed to support **speech recognition, language modeling, and various NLP tasks** for Moroccan Darija.  

## Dataset Source  
The data was **scraped** from Wikipedia (ary) using the [**WikiScraper**](https://github.com/Elma-dev/wikiscrapper) tool.  

## Data Preprocessing  
To ensure data quality, we applied **standard preprocessing techniques** to clean the HTML content and extract **useful audio and transcription data**.  

## Dataset Structure  
The dataset consists of **two columns**:

- **audio**:Speech recordings for Darija wiki posts
- **title**: The title of the Wikipedia article.  
- **text**: The textual content of the Wikipedia article.  

## Applications  
This dataset can be used for:  
- **Speech-to-text** models for Moroccan Darija.  
- **NLP applications**, such as machine translation and text-to-speech synthesis.  
- **Linguistic studies** on Moroccan Darija.  
- **Automatic pronunciation analysis** and phonetic research.
