## About the Dataset
### 200 hours

This audio dataset contains 200 hours of Russian Scripted Monologue recorded by native Russian speakers.

The speakers are presented with a prompt (script) and asked to read it out loud and record. Our clients will receive an audio recording, the prompt and information about the speaker. The audio is recorded on-device, typically in 16Khz 16 bit. We also provide information on which device each record was recorded.

The dataset is covered by [Defined.ai's standard license agreement](https://marketplace.defined.ai/dataset/data-licence-agreement). The license agreement is perpetual and allows for the commercialization of all models built on the data.
