• text/ - Corresponding text transcripts ({len(pairs)} files)
• dataset_manifest.json - Links audio to text files

Usage

import json
from datasets import load_dataset, Audio

# Load manifest
with open("dataset_manifest.json") as f:
    manifest = json.load(f)

# Create dataset from files
from datasets import Dataset

dataset = Dataset.from_list([
    {{"id": m["id"], "audio": m["audio"], "text": open(m["text"]).read()}}
    for m in manifest
])
dataset = dataset.cast_column("audio", Audio())

# Or download from HF and use locally
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
audio_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="{repo_id}", filename="audio/chunk_01.wav")

Note

Files are stored as raw audio/text for easy access. The manifest links each audio file to its transcript.
