An image that proves it's cool

The same quality of all data: all recordings are reduced to standard parameters, the texts correspond to audio recordings. The markup of audio recordings is carried out manually and undergoes a thorough check. To create a dataset, we involve professional speakers and work with partner sources (youtube channels, audiobook publishers, news agencies, etc.) under a license agreement.
