# Farsi Youtube 2024 ASR Dataset

This dataset consists of over **385** hours of transcribed audio extracted from various YouTube videos in the Persian language (more than 400k rows).

This dataset is similar to the [Filimo ASR dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/PerSets/filimo-persian-asr) in terms of structure and content, and both can be used alongside each other, but not as substitutes for one another.

## Dataset Description

The dataset includes Farsi content from various types of videos spanning from older productions up to mid-2024, including:
- Podcasts
- TV Shows
- Educational Content
- Interviews
- Documentaries

Utterances and sentences are extracted based on the timing of subtitles.

The list of videos used in this dataset is stored in the `yt_ids.csv` file as follows:
```
13XpMM7RT2c	20231207	سرگذشت پُل پوت هیولای کامبوج و رهبر خمرهای سرخ
yU6LtnpVKLo	20231210	راز بزرگترین جاسوس عرب|بیوگرافی اشرف مروان

## Note
This dataset contains raw, unvalidated auto-generated transcriptions. Transcriptions may include inaccuracies due to mal-transcriptions, and timing may occasionally be imprecise. Many efforts have been made to cleanse the data using various methods and software.
Users are advised to:
- Perform their own quality assessment
- Create their own train/validation/test splits based on their specific needs
- Validate a subset of the data if needed for their use case

For validating the data you can use [AnnoTitan](https://github.com/dhpour/annotitan), which is a crowdsourcing app developed for such ASR data.
