Nord-Parl-TTS: Finnish and Swedish TTS Dataset from Parliament Speech

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

Nord-Parl-TTS is an open text‑to‑speech dataset for Finnish and Swedish created from recordings of Nordic parliamentary proceedings. It contains 900 hours of Finnish and 5 090 hours of Swedish speech, processed with an adapted Emilia pipeline and accompanied by unified evaluation sets for model development and benchmarking. The dataset aims to reduce the resource gap in TTS between high‑ and lower‑resourced languages.

Efficient ASR Training with Conversations that Never Happened

Conversational ASR for lower-resource languages and niche domains is limited by the scarcity of domain-matched multi-speaker training data. We propose an augmentation pipeline that generates scenario-level dialogues with participant metadata, maps speaker attributes to TTS voice profiles, and assembles synthesized utterances into speaker-aware simulated conversations.

LuxEmo: Expressive Text-to-Speech Corpus for Luxembourgish

State-of-the-art speech datasets predominantly focus on widely spoken languages, often overlooking low-resource languages such as Luxembourgish, which remain underrepresented in speech technology research. In this work, we introduce LuxEmo, a 21-hour conversational expressive speech corpus for Luxembourgish with 4 emotion categories.
