prepare_data.py — Step 3: pull Igbo-English clips from AfriSwitch.
Runs in Google Colab. Streams the AfriSwitch dataset (does NOT download all
54h), saves N clips as .wav into audio/<language>/, and writes/append rows to
audio/ground_truth.csv with the true transcript for each clip.
Defensive by design: AfriSwitch's exact field names were not assumed. The
script prints the dataset's real schema first, then auto-detects the
transcript column from a list of likely names. If none match, it stops and
shows you the available columns so we fix ONE line instead of guessing.
Usage (in a Colab cell):
!python prepare_data.py --language igbo --n 30
Config name / split handling is also auto-detected: AfriSwitch may expose
each language as a separate config, or as a column inside one dataset. Both
paths are tried.
