This dataset provides 40 hours of high-quality audio recordings and corresponding text transcriptions of Burmese. The collection includes unique utterances per language to support diverse acoustic modeling. All transcriptions have undergone a manual verification process to ensure high linguistic accuracy. Recordings feature a balanced mix of genders and various age groups to minimise bias in downstream AI models. This data is specifically designed for training Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems, Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis, and general linguistic research for Burmese.

Intended Use
- Text-to-Speech (TTS) model development and evaluation - Speech synthesis research - Academic and educational research - Low-resource language technology development - Pronunciation and linguistic analysis
A curated collection of high-quality read speech recordings from native Burmese speakers. The recordings were collected through controlled voice collection sessions and are paired with verified text transcripts. The dataset is intended to support the development of Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems and other low-resource language technologies.
The dataset contains approximately 40 hours of recorded speech.
Native Burmese speakers were recruited. Sentence prompts were prepared by linguistically competent contributors. Speech recordings were manually reviewed and paired with verified transcripts.
Speech was collected during controlled recording sessions to promote consistency in recording quality.
Generated specifically for this project. Read speech recordings paired with verified text transcripts. Original recordings are stored in WAV (.wav) format.
