This dataset contains 35 minutes of transcribed conversational speech from Spanish-English bilinguals living in North America. It is intended to be used for post-training, benchmarking, development, and/or tuning ASR models for the "Lost In Transcription: Advancing Speech Recognition for Underserved Linguistic Contexts" competition.

Spanish and English are the two most widely-spoken languages in the Unites States, and there are high rates of Spanish-English bilingualism in North America. Nearly 40% of U.S. Hispanics are bilingual in English and Spanish, and Spanish is also used by over 2 million non-Hispanics in the U.S. (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2015/03/24/a-majority-of-english-speaking-hispanics-in-the-u-s-are-bilingual/). Code-switching between Spanish and English among these populations is commonplace.
The speech data was recorded by speakers via WhatsApp voice notes. These were first automatically transcribed using omniASR_LLM_3B, and manually post-edited by the participants. They were also annotated for turn-level language and for PII. PII-containing turns were omitted.
The dataset consists of 35 minutes of transcribed speech from 2 speakers. Most turns contain both Spanish and English, with a small number containing only Spanish.
