The Assamese Text-to-Speech (TTS) dataset is a valuable resource for researchers and developers interested in the field of speech synthesis for the Assamese language. Assamese is an Indo-Aryan language spoken primarily in the northeastern state of Assam in India. With a rich cultural heritage and a significant number of speakers, Assamese plays a vital role in regional communication and literature.

This dataset is specifically curated to support the development and training of text-to-speech systems for the Assamese language. It comprises a total of 1877 text samples in Assamese along with their corresponding audio recordings. The audio files are short and on average are about 3-4 seconds long.

Applications

1. Accessibility: The Assamese TTS dataset opens up opportunities for the development of assistive technologies, enabling visually impaired individuals to access written content in Assamese through synthesized speech.

2. Language Learning: The dataset can be utilized to create interactive language learning applications or tools, aiding learners in improving their pronunciation and fluency in Assamese.

3. Content Generation: TTS systems trained on the dataset can be employed in content creation, such as audiobook production, podcasting, or voice-over services, to generate high-quality spoken content in Assamese.

>As the dataset is small, it is recommended to utilize pretrained models as a starting point and fine-tune them using the provided data to achieve better performance and accuracy in Assamese TTS applications.
