+# AnimeVox: Character TTS Corpus
+
+## 🗣️ Dataset Overview
+
+AnimeVox is an English Text-to-Speech (TTS) dataset featuring 11,020 audio clips from 19 distinct anime characters across popular series. Each clip includes a high-quality transcription, character name, and anime title, making it ideal for voice cloning, custom TTS model fine-tuning, and character voice synthesis research.
+
+The dataset was created and processed using **[TTSizer](https://github.com/taresh18/TTSizer)**, an open-source tool that automates creating high-quality TTS datasets from raw media.

+
+## 📊 Dataset Statistics
+
+- **Total samples:** 11,020
+- **Characters:** 19
+- **Anime series:** 15
+- **Audio format:** 44.1kHz mono WAV
+- **Storage size:** ~3.5GB
+
+## 🎧 Dataset Structure
+
+* **Instances:** Each sample is a dictionary with the following structure:
+  ```python
+  {
+    "audio": {"path": "...", "array": ..., "sampling_rate": 44100},
+    "transcription": "English text spoken by the character.",
+    "character_name": "Character Name",
+    "anime": "Anime Series Title"
+  }
+*   **Fields:**
+    *   `audio`: Audio object (44.1kHz).
+    *   `transcription`: (str) English transcription.
+    *   `character_name`: (str) Name of the speaking character.
+    *   `anime`: (str) Anime series title.
+*   **Splits:** A single train split with all 11,020 samples from 19 characters.
+
+## 🛠️ Dataset Creation
+
+### Source
+Audio clips were sourced from official English-dubbed versions of popular anime series. The clips were selected to capture diverse emotional tones and vocal characteristics unique to each character.
+
+### Processing with TTSizer
+This dataset was generated using **[TTSizer](https://github.com/taresh18/TTSizer)**, which offers an end-to-end automated pipeline for creating TTS-ready datasets. Key features utilized include:
+
+*   **Advanced Multi-Speaker Diarization:** To accurately identify and segment speech for each of the characters, even in complex audio environments.
+*   **State-of-the-Art Model Integration:** Leveraging models such as MelBandRoformer (for vocal separation), Gemini (for diarization), CTC-Aligner (for precise audio-text alignment), and WeSpeaker (for speaker embedding/verification).
+*   **Quality Control:** Implementing automatic outlier detection to flag and help refine potentially problematic audio-text pairs, ensuring higher dataset quality.
+
+The tool's configurable nature allowed for fine-tuning the entire process to suit the specific needs of this anime voice dataset.
