Datasets

The production of animated feature films involves large amounts of data, which can present many different challenges. We encourage researchers and engineers to investigate and use these Data Sets for research purposes, and we look forward to seeing what new techniques they may inspire.

This is a public domain speech dataset consisting of 13,100 short audio clips of a single speaker reading passages from 7 non-fiction books. A transcription is provided for each clip. Clips vary in length from 1 to 10 seconds and have a total length of approximately 24 hours. The texts were published between 1884 and 1964, and are in the public domain. The audio was recorded in 2016-17 by the LibriVox project and is also in the public domain. To use this dataset: ```python import tensorflow_datasets as tfds ds = tfds.load(‘ljspeech’, split=‘train’) for ex in ds.take(4): print(ex) ``` See [the guide](https://www.tensorflow.org/datasets/overview) for more informations on [tensorflow_datasets](https://www.tensorflow.org/datasets).

This adds the ability to show the timestamps of words as JSON data. DeepSpeech functions exactly as before by default and you need to set the extended output flag on the StreamingState object in or…
