Vistaar Small ASR Eval
Dataset Description
The Vistaar Small ASR Eval dataset is a multilingual automatic speech recognition evaluation dataset containing 9,486 audio samples across 12 Indian languages. This dataset represents a subset of the larger Vistaar dataset published by AI4Bharat, designed specifically for evaluating ASR model performance on diverse Indian language speech data. A smaller evaluation dataset was created for the use-cases where a quick benchmarking of models is needed. Currently, Vistaar can be accessed through github only, we are redistributing this subset of the dataset through Huggingface for easier usage under the same MIT Liscence.
Original Vistaar dataset and models can be found here - https://github.com/AI4Bharat/vistaar
Dataset Statistics
- Total samples: 9,486
- Languages: 12 Indian languages
- Total duration: ~18.6 hours
- Use case: ASR model evaluation and benchmarking
