English High-Fidelity Text-to-Speech Audio Samples

Over 100,000 audio samples for text-to-speech applications, hosted on Hugging Face by datadriven-company. The dataset includes text and corresponding high-fidelity speech audio. It was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Train a TTS model to generate speech audio from input text transcripts.
• Fine-tune a vocoder model using the high-fidelity audio waveforms for improved sound quality.
• Develop voice cloning systems by learning speaker characteristics from the audio samples.
• Benchmark speech synthesis quality by comparing generated audio against the provided ground-truth samples.

Strengths

• Contains over 100,000 samples, as indicated by the '100 Kn1 M' size category.
• Includes both text (Modalitytext) and audio (Modalityaudio) data for multimodal training.
• Data is stored in Parquet format, enabling efficient columnar access and processing.

Limitations

• Specific audio characteristics like sample rate, bit depth, or speaker count are unknown.
• The geographic origin is listed as 'us', which may introduce a bias towards American English accents.
• No license information is provided, which restricts clarity on permissible use.
