| ## Curation & Processing |
|
|
| - All clips re-segmented to remove silence and cross-talk |
| - Transcripts normalised to Unicode NFC; language tags added (`<hi-en>` for code-switched utterances) |
| - Duplicate and near-duplicate clips removed |
| - Consistent CSV schema applied across all sources before concatenation |
| - Audio stored as WAV, original sample rates preserved |
