| # Background Conversations |

|
|
| **Audio dataset, standalone.** Kept apart from the master dataset and its split-outs. Every audio dataset as one tree, with hours: [the audio index](https://huggingface.co/datasets/danielrosehill/Audio-Dataset-Index). How every dataset fits together: [the dataset index](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Hebrish/Dataset-Index). |
| <!-- dataset-card-frame:end --> |
|
|
| A small **test-only** set for target-speaker ASR: one person (the foreground speaker) dictates into a phone while other |
| people talk, a baby cries and household devices make noise in the same room. The transcript is the foreground speaker's |
| words only. Everything else is what a model, or a speaker-isolation front end before it, should leave out. |
|
|
| It is never trained on. It is for checking how a dictation model, or a voice-isolation step, copes with real rooms. |
|
|
| ## Data |
|
|
| - **1 clip(s), 3.1 min**, split `test` only. |
| - Audio: FLAC, 48 kHz, 16-bit, mono, converted from phone voice notes (Opus). |
| - `text`: foreground speech, verbatim, punctuated and cased. `transcript_status` is `pending` until the speaker has |
| checked it against the audio, then `reviewed`. |
| - `model_hypothesis` / `asr_model`: the untouched first-pass transcript the draft started from. |
| - `noise_flags`: what is audible behind the speaker (`background-speech`, `baby-crying`, `device-voice-prompt`, ...). |
| - `extra` (JSON text): `background_sources` (who or what is in the background), `diarized` (false: the background speech |
| has no transcript or segment labels yet), `source_file`. |
|
|
| Columns follow the Hebrish audio format standard (`audio.schema.json` in this repo). There is no `sentences` tab: these are |
| free speech, not read sentences. |
