IntelMedica Medical TTS Dataset v1 (24kHz) -- DEPRECATED

This dataset is deprecated. Please use intelmedica/medical-tts-parquet-1-16khz instead, which contains 125,500 samples (vs 10,000 here) at 16kHz sample rate optimized for ASR training.

Description

Synthetic medical speech dataset for training medical ASR models. This is the original 10K-sample version at 24kHz. It has been superseded by the 16kHz version with 12.5x more data.

Dataset Details

• Samples: 10,000
• Sample rate: 16,000 Hz (mono, originally generated at 24kHz)
• Audio format: WAV embedded in parquet
• Language: English (American, British, Indian accents)
• Status: DEPRECATED -- use medical-tts-parquet-1-16khz instead

Data Sources

Terms were sourced from:

Source	Type	License
UMLS (NLM)	Medical concepts, abbreviations	NLM License (derivative work)
RxNorm	Drug names, dosages	Public Domain (US Government)
FDA NDC	Drug products, ingredients	Public Domain (US Government)
ICD-10-CM	Diagnosis codes	Public Domain (CMS)
Medical abbreviations	Clinical abbreviations	Public Domain compilation

Generation Method

1. Sentence generation: Template-based generation wrapping medical terms into natural clinical dictation sentences
2. TTS synthesis: Kokoro-82M (Apache 2.0) with multiple voices across 3 accent groups (American, British, Indian English)

Intended Use

• Fine-tuning ASR models for medical/nursing transcription
• Research in medical speech recognition
• NOT intended for clinical decision support or diagnostic purposes

Successor Dataset

Use this instead: intelmedica/medical-tts-parquet-1-16khz

• 125,500 samples (12.5x more)
• 16kHz sample rate (standard for ASR)
• Additional categories and voices
• Provenance canary markers
