+# AI4B-IndicVoices-Curated-v0 🗣️
+
+A high-quality curated subset of IndicVoices-ST dataset, processed and filtered for Text-to-Speech (TTS) applications. This dataset focuses on clean, well-aligned speech data with high-quality transcriptions.
+
+## Currently Available Languages
+- Tamil (80 hours)
+
+*More languages (Hindi and Telugu) will be added soon!*
+
+## Dataset Details
+
+### Tamil Dataset
+- **Size**: ~80 hours
+- **Source**: Curated from [IndicVoices-ST](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ai4bharat/IndicVoices-ST)
+- **Filtering Criteria**:
+  - Alignment score > 0.9
+  - Mining score > 0.5
+  - Duration between 1-120 seconds
+  - Clear speech without background noise
+  - Well-aligned transcriptions
+
+### Dataset Structure
+```python
+{
+    'chunked_audio_filepath': dict,  # Actual Audio of type datasets.Audio
+    'pred_text': str,                # Predicted Tamil text (has no use to TTS)
+    'text': str,                     # Ground truth Tamil text
+    'audio_filepath': str,           # Path to audio file
+    'duration': float,               # Duration in seconds
+    'alignment_score': float,
+    'en_mining_score': float
+}
+```
+
+## Use Cases
+- Training Text-to-Speech (TTS) models
+- Speech research for Indic language
+- Prosody and pronunciation studies
+- Benchmarking speech synthesis systems
