The Noakhali Text-to-Speech (TTS) Dataset is a high-quality speech corpus designed to support the development of speech technologies for the Noakhali dialect of Bangla. It contains professionally recorded speech paired with accurate text transcriptions, making it suitable for supervised training and evaluation of text-to-speech systems. The recordings are captured in a controlled environment to ensure consistent audio quality and natural speech. The dataset consists of literary content that reflects the phonetic and linguistic characteristics of the Noakhali dialect. It is intended for research in speech synthesis, pronunciation modeling, language modeling, and other speech and language processing tasks. By providing a structured and well-aligned speech corpus, the dataset also contributes to the preservation and digital representation of this regional language variety and supports the advancement of AI technologies for low-resource languages.
