Source Data

Downloaded from OpenSLR SLR100.
Each language pack (mtedx_<lang>.tgz) contains:

  • data/<split>/wav/ — Full-talk FLAC audio files
  • data/<split>/vtt/ — WebVTT transcript files (<id>.<lang>.vtt)
  • data/<split>/txt/ — Segments and Plain-text transcripts
  • docs/statistics.txt — Per-split statistics

The upload script (create_mtedx_dataset.py) slices the full-talk FLAC files into individual segments using the kaldi segments timestamps and discards segments shorter than 0.5 s or longer than 30 s.
