Ar-DAD: Arabic Diversified Audio Dataset

This is the only available audio library covering this large number of reciters and verses in one harmonized structure that can be used by concerned researchers in different directions.

The audio files are organized into two main datasets. Reciters are put into 37 folders created per chapter (78- 114), within each chapter, subfolders are created as per the verse number, within each verse folder, the audio clips are enumerated into 30 different reciters. The second subset includes only one folder of audio clips for imitators categorized by an anonymous ID. The data is shared as WAV format for the audio clips with maximum quality as recorded and disseminated over the internet, no enhancement of any kind is applied after scraping.

In this version of the dataset (V3), a third data folder is added for the textual materials of all verses as plain text files; with and without vocalization\vowelization (تشكيل __ Tashkeel).
