+ # ASR WPM and Background Noise Evaluation Dataset
63
+
64
+ A dataset of annotated audio recordings for evaluating how different factors affect Whisper (and other ASR/STT systems) transcription accuracy.
65
+
66
+ ## Purpose
67
+
68
+ This dataset provides controlled audio samples with annotations to evaluate ASR performance across:
69
+
70
+ - **Speaking pace** (fast, normal, slow, mumbled, whispered, weird voices)
71
+ - **Background noise** (cafe, music, conversations in various languages, traffic, sirens, etc.)
72
+ - **Microphone distance** (close, normal, far)
73
+
74
+ ## Dataset Structure
75
+
76
+ Each sample includes:
77
+ - A WAV audio file (16kHz mono)
78
+ - Metadata with annotations describing recording conditions
79
+
80

+ ## Usage
136
+
137
+ ```python
138
+ from datasets import load_dataset
139
+
140
+ dataset = load_dataset("danielrosehill/ASR-WPM-And-Background-Noise-Eval")
141
+
142
+ # Access audio and metadata
143
+ for sample in dataset["train"]:
144
+ audio = sample["audio"]
145
+ pace = sample["annotations"]["pace"]
146
+ noise = sample["annotations"]["background_noise"]
147
+ ```
148
+
149
+ ## Use Cases
150
+
151
+ - Benchmarking ASR/STT models under varying conditions
152
+ - Evaluating robustness to background noise
153
+ - Testing speech recognition at different speaking rates
154
+ - Comparing transcription accuracy across challenging audio scenarios
