Despite 230 million speakers, Urdu remains critically under-resourced in speech technology. We introduce UrduSpeech: a large high-fidelity Urdu corpus comprising 156 hours of audio with 12-dimension paralinguistic metadata, encompassing…

Many recently published Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems produce audio close to real speech. However, TTS evaluation needs to be revisited to make sense of the results obtained with the new architectures, approaches and datasets. We propose…

Evaluation of Text to Speech (TTS) systems is challenging and resource-intensive. Subjective metrics such as Mean Opinion Score (MOS) are not easily comparable between works. Objective metrics are frequently used, but rarely validated…

RuASD (Russian AntiSpoofing Dataset) is a dedicated, reproducible benchmark for Russian-language speech anti-spoofing designed to evaluate both in-domain discrimination and robustness to deployment-style distribution shifts. It combines a…

We present a new corpus with coreference annotation, Russian Coreference Corpus (RuCoCo). The goal of RuCoCo is to obtain a large number of annotated texts while maintaining high inter-annotator agreement. RuCoCo contains news texts in…

We present a test corpus of audio recordings and transcriptions of presentations of students' enterprises together with their slides and web-pages. The corpus is intended for evaluation of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems,…

Thanks to improvements in machine learning techniques, including deep learning, speech synthesis is becoming a machine learning task. To accelerate speech synthesis research, we are developing Japanese voice corpora reasonably accessible…
