Multilingual speech dataset with urgency tone annotation

The following dataset is a collection of multilingual audio recordings in a controlled environment, divided according to the tone of urgency used in a hypothetical emergency scenario.The dataset contains 200 audio files in 5 different languages: English, French, German, Italian, and Dutch. There are 40 audio files for each language, divided equally (20 and 20) between those labelled as urgent and those labelled as non-urgent. Urgent audio files are recordings of speech in simulated emergency situations in which the speaker adopts a tone defined as urgent. Non-urgent audio files are recordings of general content in which the speaker uses a neutral tone of voice. The English audio files are produced using artificial intelligence-based text-to-speech software. The remaining audio files for each language are recorded by the same person (i.e. 4 people), who are native speakers of the respective language. All audio files are provided in uncompressed WAV format with the following characteristics: Codec : pcm_s16le Sample rate: 48 kHZ Channels: 2 (stereo) Structure of the dataset: dataset: data: languages: urgent: audio_xx_urgent.wav transcription_language.txt not_urgent: audio_xx_not_urgent.wav transcription_language.txt
