  ## Dataset summary

241
  This dataset contains 6,448,108 sentence-level speech clips cut from 46,373 YouTube videos
242
- in 43 languages, 29,751 hours in total. Each row describes one clip: its position in
243
- the source video (`video_id`, `start`, `end`), an automatic transcript produced with Whisper
244
- large-v3-turbo, a language label predicted from the transcript, and the attribution of the
245
- source video. The audio is not included.

410
- ### Source data
411
-
412
- The source is a collection of public YouTube videos published under the Creative Commons
413
- Attribution license, crawled in 2026 together with their caption tracks. The captions were used
414
- only to select videos and estimate their length; they are not used as transcripts.
415
-
416
- ### Processing
417
-
418
- 1. **Transcription.** The audio of each video was converted to 16 kHz mono and transcribed with
419
- faster-whisper (large-v3-turbo) with word timestamps and voice activity detection.
420
- 2. **Segmentation.** The words were grouped into clips of 3 to 30 seconds (target 12 seconds)
421
- that end at the end of a sentence. If no sentence ends before 30 seconds, the clip ends at the
422
- longest pause (`fallback_cut`). A margin of 0.15 seconds is added at both ends, so a few clips
423
- are slightly longer than 30 seconds.
424
- 3. **Quality filter.** Videos with degenerate transcription output or with few sentence ends were
425
- removed as a whole.
426
- 4. **Language identification.** Each transcript was labelled with fastText `lid.176`; the video
427
- language is the label with the largest share of speech in the video, weighted by the
428
- confidence of the labels.
429
- 5. **Deduplication.** Videos listed under more than one crawl language were kept once.
430
- 6. **License check.** The license of every video was checked with the YouTube Data API on
431
- 2026-10-15. Of the 47,201 videos kept by the previous steps, 828 (98,886 clips) were
432
- removed: 625 videos deleted, private or blocked; 203 videos now under the standard YouTube license.

- ## Removal requests
445
-
446
- If you are the author of a video in this dataset and want it removed, open a discussion in the
447

448
- versions of the dataset.
449
-
450
- ## Limitations
451
-
452
- - **The transcripts are machine-generated.** They come from Whisper large-v3-turbo and have not
453
- been checked against human transcripts; their word error rate is not known. A model trained on
454
- this data learns to reproduce Whisper output. Evaluate on test sets with human transcripts.
455
- - **Language labels are predicted from the text.** For about half of the videos (the first
456
- processing batch), Whisper was set to decode in the language label of the crawl. If that label was wrong, the transcript
457
- may not match the spoken language, and a text-based label cannot detect this.
458
- - **The language distribution is uneven.** The nine largest languages hold almost all hours;
459
- many languages have less than 10 hours.
460
- - **Clip length.** About 2.4% of the clips are shorter than 3 seconds, mostly the last
461
- clip of a video or clips cut at a pause.
462
- - **No speaker information and no evaluation split.** All rows are in `train`. Clips of the same
463
- video share speakers and recording conditions; split by `video_id`, not by clip.

+ in 43 languages, 29,751 hours in total. The videos come from the YouTube collection
243
+ of [Mumospee V2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/meetween/mumospee_V2) (`youtube_meeting` split): 33,275 of the 46,373 videos
244
+ (71.8%) are in that split, and the others are videos of the same collection that are
245
+ not included in it.
246

247
+ Each row describes one clip: its position in the source video (`video_id`, `start`, `end`), an

389
+ | `split` | string | `train` | Dataset split; all rows are training data |
390
+ | `source_dataset` | string | `youtube_clips_v1` | Name of the source corpus, used when corpora are combined |
391
+ | `license` | string | `CC-BY-4.0` | License of the row |
392
+ | `audio_input_path` | string | null | Path of the input audio; null because the audio is not included |
393
+ | `audio_input_duration` | float64 | seconds, e.g. `15.75` | Duration of the clip |
394
+ | `audio_input_sample_rate` | int64 | `16000` | Sample rate in Hz of the clip audio from which the transcript was made |
395
+ | `audio_input_num_channels` | int64 | `1` | Number of audio channels (mono) |
396
+ | `audio_input_codec` | string | `flac` | Codec of the clip audio |
397
+ | `text_output` | string | transcript | Target text: the Whisper large-v3-turbo transcript of the clip, cased and punctuated |
398
+ | `num_words_output` | int64 | e.g. `37` | Number of words in `text_output` |
399
+ | `language_audio_input` | string | ISO 639-1 code or null | Language of the input audio, as metadata of the row. Set to the label predicted from the transcript (`lid_text_predicted`). Null if no language was identified (28,212 rows, 0.4%), so that tools treat the language as unknown instead of as a language code |
400
+ | `language_text_output` | string | ISO 639-1 code or null | Language of `text_output`, as metadata of the row; same value as `language_audio_input`, and null in the same rows |
401
+ | `lid_text_predicted` | string | ISO 639-1 code or `und` | Output of the language classifier (fastText `lid.176`) on the transcript. Unlike the two columns above, it records the classifier result and is never null: `und` (ISO 639-2 code for "undetermined") means that the classifier ran but identified no language. These rows also have the flag `lang_und` |
402
+ | `language_confidence_text` | float64 | 0 to 1 | Confidence of `lid_text_predicted` |
403
+ | `words_per_second` | float64 | e.g. `2.35` | Speaking rate: `num_words_output` divided by `audio_input_duration` |
404
+ | `chars_per_second` | float64 | e.g. `13.8` | Characters of `text_output` per second of audio |
405
+ | `clip_id` | string | `<video_id>_<index>` | ID of the clip; the index is the position of the clip in its video, from 0. Rows of other tasks built on the same clip use the same `clip_id` |
406
+ | `video_id` | string | YouTube video ID | Source video: `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<video_id>` |
407
+ | `start` | float64 | seconds | Start of the clip in the source video |
408
+ | `end` | float64 | seconds | End of the clip in the source video |
409
+ | `is_gold_transcript` | bool | `false` | Whether the transcript is a human reference; `false` because the transcripts are model output |
410
+ | `flags` | list of strings | empty, `fallback_cut`, `lang_und` | Quality warnings. `fallback_cut`: no sentence ended within 30 seconds, so the clip ends at the longest pause instead of a sentence end. `lang_und`: the language of the transcript could not be identified |
411
+ | `attribution` | string (JSON) | `title`, `uploader`, `channel_url`, `video_id` | Title, channel name, channel URL and ID of the source video, for the attribution required by the CC BY license |
