The Punjabi TTS Dataset (Shahmukhi) is a high-quality speech corpus containing approximately 10 hours of read speech in Punjabi written in the Shahmukhi script. It is designed to support text-to-speech development, speech synthesis research, pronunciation modeling, and broader language technology work for Punjabi in its Perso-Arabic writing tradition. The dataset consists of paired audio recordings and text transcripts, carefully prepared to reflect clear pronunciation, natural reading style, and accurate Shahmukhi orthography. It is suitable for building and evaluating Punjabi TTS systems, as well as related applications such as speech processing, phonetic analysis, and low-resource language technology development.
