+ ## Why WorldSpeech
891
+
892
+ | Corpus | Hours | Languages | Human transcripts | Domain |
893
+ |---|---|---|---|---|
894
+ | MLS | ~50k | 8 | ✓ | Audiobooks |
895
+ | VoxPopuli | ~24k transcribed | 23 (EU only) | Partial | Parliamentary |
896
+ | GigaSpeech 2 | ~30k | 3 | ✗ | YouTube |
897
+ | Common Voice 17 | ~31k | 100+ | ✓ | Read prompts |
898
+ | FLEURS | ~1.4k | 102 | ✓ | Read (eval only) |
899
+ | **WorldSpeech** | **~53,635** | **79** | **✓ (+ ASR + CER)** | **Parliamentary, broadcast, audiobook** |
900
+
901
+ WorldSpeech combines MLS-scale hours with FLEURS-scale language coverage and per-row quality metadata, with a deliberate non-European focus.
902
+
903
+ ---
904
+
905
+ ## Recommended use cases
906
+
907
+ - **Multilingual ASR pretraining and fine-tuning**, especially for languages outside MLS / VoxPopuli coverage.
908
+ - **Multilingual TTS pretraining**, after filtering on DNSMOS / SNR / CER.
909
+ - **Long-form / streaming ASR**, since `source_start_s` / `source_end_s` allow reconstruction of original session context.
910
+ - **Speech enhancement**, using the wide DNSMOS distribution as an in-distribution quality range.
911
+
912
+ ---
913
+
914
+ ## Known limitations
915
+
916
+ - **Domain skew.** Parliamentary, broadcast, and read-audiobook content dominate. Conversational speech is under-represented.
917
+ - **Speaker imbalance.** Several configs are dominated by a small number of frequent speakers. No per-speaker labels are provided.
918
+ - **Alignment uncertainty.** Human transcripts are aligned via ASR; the `cer` field gives a per-segment quality estimate.
919
+ - **Variable audio quality.** Weighted avg DNSMOS OVR is 2.82, with substantial variance. Filter aggressively for TTS-grade work.
920
+ - **11 languages have < 10 hours** (`grc`, `mi`, `ml`, `mr`, `nr`, `nso`, `pa`, `ss`, `st`, `ts`, `ve`). Treat these as evaluation signal rather than training data.
921
+ - **Five RFA configs are metadata-only.** See embedding caveat above.
922
+
923
+ ---
924
+
925
+ ## Ethical considerations
926
+
927
+ Sources are public records (parliaments, courts, broadcasters, public-domain audiobooks). Speakers are public figures speaking in their official capacity. No private conversations or non-consensual material are included. Configs with non-commercial-only upstream terms (UN, ICC, Vatican Radio, RFA, RFE/RL) are flagged in the Licenses table.
928
+
929
+ If you identify content that should not have been included, open an issue and we will action takedowns within 30 days.
