# Kinyarwanda Automatic Speech Recognition Dataset
## Dataset Description
This dataset contains a sample from the 500 hours of Kinyarwanda speech data covering Health, Government, Finance, Education, and Agriculture domains, converted from the [Kaggle Kinyarwanda ASR Track A competition](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/kinyarwanda-automatic-speech-recognition-track-a).
## Dataset Details
- **Language**: Kinyarwanda (rw)
- **Task**: Automatic Speech Recognition
- **Size**: ~500 hours of transcribed speech
- **Domains**: Health, Government, Financial Services, Education, Agriculture
- **Format**: Audio files with corresponding transcriptions
- **Source**: Created by Digital Umuganda with Gates Foundation funding
## Dataset Structure
```python
# example usage
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("badrex/kinyarwanda-speech-sample")
```
## Use Cases
- training ASR models for Kinyarwanda
- fine-tuning existing speech recognition models (e.g., Whisper)
- research in low-resource speech recognition
- building voice applications for Kinyarwanda speakers
