Google-synth: A Synthesized Punjabi Speech Dataset

The Google-synth dataset comprises a synthetic Punjabi dataset that has been generated using Google's Cloud Text-to-Speech service. This dataset encompasses approximately 50,000 synthesized utterances, featuring four synthetic speakers (two male and two female), which amounts to approximately 38 hours of audio data. To facilitate training, validation, and testing, the dataset has been pre-divided into three portions: 80% for training, 10% for validation, and 10% for testing. The dataset is meticulously organized, with all speech files stored in the "clips" directory. The corresponding transcript files (train, dev, and test) are situated in the parent directory and follow the TSV (Tab-Separated Values) format. Each line within the transcript files represents a label assigned to a particular speech sample from the clips directory. The first column of each line contains the path and name of the corresponding WAV file, while the second column, separated by a tab, contains the transcript in textual form.
