This README contains a short description of the data, the folder
structure, file naming and some known problems on the
labelling. Possible improvements are proposed in the TODO section.

== Content: ==
* wavs: segmented audio (except part4, unsegmented, and part5 partially
segmented)
* text: prompts corresponding to audio
* lists: recommended training / development / test sets
* labs: aligned HTS labels
* emph_labs: aligned HTS labels with emphasis mark on emphasised word
(P:0 for neutral words, P:1 for emphasised words)
* other:
- prompts gathered in big files
- question file to use in HTS training when using provided labels


== Syntax of file names: ==
* For part 1,2,3 and 5:
[style]_[type]_[session]_[id].[ext] where:
- style = neutral (neut) / emphasised (emph) / expressive (expr)
- type = parliament (parl) / book (book) / siwis (siwis) / sus (sus) /
chapter (chap)
- session = 2 digits
- id = 4 digits
- ext = wav / txt / lab
* part4:
chap_full.[ext]


== Notes: ==
* Part 1 to 4 are from the same (main) speaker.
* Part 5 is uttered by a different speaker.
* Part 1 to 3 have labels.
* Part 4 and 5 do not have labels because they are not segmented.


== Known problems: ==
* The [s] sounds in "c'est" are often (if not always) replaced by
[k]. This is a problem in the generation of labels.
* It may happen that some emphasised words are not labelled as
emphasised in the case of multiple emphasised words in the sentence.


== TODO: ==
* Instead of just labels on known emphasised words, also add
information about position of emphasised word relatively to the
current word, for instance.

SIWIS French Speech Synthesis Database

This README provides a concise description of the dataset, including its structure, file naming conventions, and known labeling issues. Additionally, suggestions for potential improvements are outlined in the TODO section.

The dataset is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license, permitting its use for any purpose.

For more details about the database design and recording process, please refer to:
Pierre-Edouard Honnet, Alexandros Lazaridis, Philip N. Garner, and Junichi Yamagishi, The SIWIS French Speech Synthesis Database – Design and recording of a high-quality French database for speech synthesis, Idiap-Internal-RR-06-2017.

Dataset Contents

The dataset is organized into the following components:

wavs: Segmented audio files.
- Note: Part 4 contains unsegmented data, and Part 5 is partially segmented.
text: Text prompts corresponding to the audio files.
lists: Recommended training, development, and test sets.
labs: Aligned HTS (Hidden Markov Model-based Text-to-Speech) labels.
emph_labs: Aligned HTS labels with emphasis markers on emphasized words.
- P:0: Neutral words
- P:1: Emphasized words
other:
- Consolidated prompt files.
- Question file for use during HTS training with the provided labels.

File Naming Conventions

Parts 1, 2, 3, and 5

Files are named using the format:
[style]_[type]_[session]_[id].[ext]

Where:

style: Speech style
- neut: Neutral
- emph: Emphasized
- expr: Expressive
type: Content type
- parl: Parliament
- book: Book
- siwis: SIWIS prompts
- sus: SUS (Semantically Unpredictable Sentences)
- chap: Chapter
session: Two-digit session identifier.
id: Four-digit unique identifier.
ext: File extension (wav, txt, lab).

Part 4

Files use the format:
chap_full.[ext]

Additional Notes

Speakers:
- Parts 1 to 4 feature recordings from the same main speaker.
- Part 5 is recorded by a different speaker.
Labels:
- Parts 1 to 3 include aligned labels.
- Parts 4 and 5 lack labels due to their unsegmented nature.

Known Issues

The [s] sound in "c'est" is frequently replaced with [k], affecting label accuracy.
In cases where multiple words are emphasized within a sentence, some emphasized words may not be labeled correctly.

TODO

To improve the dataset:

Expand labels to include relative position information for emphasized words. For example, indicate the distance of an emphasized word relative to the current word.

For any questions or further clarification, please contact the dataset maintainers.
