# Dataset Details

This is a version of the Living Audio Irish speech corpus, augmented with English machine translation.
The Irish sentences in this version are automatically translated into English using Google Translation API.

The Irish-only HF dataset is available at [ymoslem/Living-Audio-Irish](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ymoslem/Living-Audio-Irish),
and it is based on the Irish dataset on [Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/jimregan/living-audio-irish-speech-corpus).
The original dataset with audio in more languages is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/Idlak/Living-Audio-Dataset) as part of the Idlak project.


The details of the Irish portion of the Living Audio dataset are as follows:

| Speaker | Language | Accent | Gender | Total duration(mm:ss) | Sample rate (Hz) |
|:-------:|:--------:|:------:|:------:|:---------------------:|:----------------:|
| CLL | Irish (ga)   | Non-native (ie)  | Man   | 61:56 | 48\,000 |
