Intended Use
This dataset is intended to be used for training and evaluating automatic speech recognition (ASR) models. It may also be used for applications relating to computer-aided language learning (CALL) and language or heritage revitalisation.
ebr)This datasheet is for version 23.0 of the the Mozilla Common Voice Scripted Speech dataset
for Ebrie (ebr). The dataset contains 3.2 hours of recorded
speech (2.4 hours validated) from 6 speakers.
Ethnologue online describes Ebrie also known as Tchaman or Tyaman as a stable indigenous language of Côte d’Ivoire that belongs to the Niger-Congo language family.
The dataset includes the following distribution of age and gender.
Self-declared gender information, percentage refers to the number of clips annotated with this gender.
| Gender | Pertentage |
|---|---|
| Undefined | 68.0% |
| Female Feminine | 32.0% |
Self-declared age information, percentage refers to the number of clips annotated with this age band.
| Age Band | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Undefined | 3.0% |
| Twenties | 23.0% |
| Thirties | 32.0% |
| Fourties | 42.0% |
The writing system used in the sentence collection for read speech in this dataset is phonetic-based with diacritics as tone marks.
There follows a randomly selected sample of five sentences from the corpus.
