<p><em><strong>This corpus is publicly accessible upon accepting T&amp;Cs and requesting access.</strong></em></p> <p><em><br>Nos_TranscriSpeech-GL</em> is a manually transcribed and speech-to-text aligned Galician ASR corpus containing 53 hours of multi-domain speech.</p> <p>The corpus is divided into four subcorpora according to the type of audio: conferences, debates, speeches, and interviews.</p> <p>The file naming scheme of both the audio and the transcription files consists of an ID indicating the speaker, followed, if necessary, by a number indicating successive audios by the same speaker. Parts of the same audio are marked by a number separated by an underscore from the speaker ID (e.g., Alberti1_1.wav).</p> <p>The audio files are released in 44.1 kHz 16-bit WAV format and the transcriptions are available in .stm and .trs. Moreover, the corpus is accompanied by the corresponding speaker metadata and the guide detailing the conventions used for the manual transcription.</p> <p>The dataset includes detailed linguistic annotation. Transcriptions were carried out following the included guideline (available on Zenodo), with conventions such as: orthographic transcription in standard Galician, marking of dialectal, non-standard and non-Galician forms, annotation of paralinguistic and oral features (e.g. laughter, pauses, overlaps, interruptions, singing), explicit marking of speaker turns and audience interventions, and standardized representation of numerals and acronyms.</p> <p><strong>Funding and acknowledgements</strong></p> <p>&ldquo;The N&oacute;s project: Galician in the society and economy of Artificial Intelligence&rdquo; is possible thanks to the funding resulting from the agreement 2021-CP080 between the Xunta de Galicia and the University of Santiago de Compostela, and thanks to the Investigo program, within the National Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, within the framework of the European Recovery Fund (NextGenerationEU).</p> <p>We would like to thank the <a href="http://ilg.usc.es/corilga/">Corpus Oral Informatizado da Lingua Galega (CORILGA)</a> project&nbsp;for their kind collaboration in providing the original data.</p> <p>For more information, please go to <a href="https://nos.gal/">https://nos.gal/</a> or contact the N&oacute;s project at <a href="mailto:proxecto.nos@usc.gal">proxecto.nos@usc.gal</a>.<br><br><strong>Terms and Conditions</strong><br><br>By accessing and using this dataset, you agree to comply with all applicable laws and ethical standards regarding the protection of individual rights.
