This truly open source (CC0 license) german (🇩🇪) voice dataset contains about **40 hours of transcribed voice recordings** by Thorsten Müller, 
a single male, native speaker in **over 38.000 wave files**.

* Mono
* Samplerate: 44.100Hz
* Denoised
* Normalized to -24dB

# Disclaimer
```"Please keep in mind, I am not a professional speaker, just an open source speech technology enthusiast who donates his voice. I contribute my personal voice as a person believing in a world where all people are equal. No matter of gender, sexual orientation, religion, skin color and geocoordinates of birth location. A global world where everybody is warmly welcome on any place on this planet and open and free knowledge and education is available to everyone." (Thorsten Müller)```

## Subsets & styles

### Subset: TV-2021.02-Neutral
This subset contains about 22.000 recordings in a **neutral style**. The recording quality is mixed. Bad USB microphone
or good Rode Podcaster microphone and used a recording chamber. See microphone feature for information. The pronounciation is very clear and slow.
Every word is pronounced very well, but the speech flow is less natural because of very clear recording.
*This subset (in 22kHz samplerate) is also available on Zenodo under [DOI 10.5281/zenodo.5525342](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5525342)*

### Subset: TV-2022.10-Neutral
This subset contains about 12.000 recordings in a **neutral style**. All recordings where done using a good Rode Podcaster microphone and
a recording chamber. The speech flow is very natural.
*This subset (in 22kHz samplerate) is also available on Zenodo under [DOI 10.5281/zenodo.7265581](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7265581)*

### Subset: TV-2021.06-Emotional
This subset contains about 2.000 recordings in an **emotional style**. The recorded phrases are for all emotions identical but are pronounced in
following different emotions. Some recordings might be cut off too early.
*This subset (in 22kHz samplerate) is also available on Zenodo under [DOI 10.5281/zenodo.5525023](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5525023)*

* neutral
* surprised (*style: surprised | überrascht*)

in the center region of germany. All recordings where done using a good Rode Podcaster microphone and a recording chamber. The speech flow is very natural.
*This subset (in 22kHz samplerate) is also available on Zenodo under [DOI 10.5281/zenodo.10511260](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10511260)*
