COALA voice data and transcripts Dutch

This dataset contains audio files and transcripts in Dutch and related to manufacturing. We collected the scripts during the Horizon Europe RIA COALA (GA 957296, project reference website) from industrial use cases and hired a service provider to generate the related audio files (BIBA - Bremer Institut für Produktion und Logistik GmbH ordered the service). The service provider checked the audio files for quality. The service provider recruited crowd workers, and gathered their audio records, informed consent (privacy) and agreement that their records become public domain (Creative Commons 0; https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).
