af_heart_arm_tts_dataset

The distillation corpus used to train dlyog/af_heart_arm_tts — a single-voice TTS model built for Arm inference on NVIDIA DGX Spark.

3.0000 hours · 4,104 clips · 24 kHz mono 16-bit PCM, synthesized by Kokoro-82M speaking af_heart. This is knowledge distillation: the teacher generated every clip, so the student can approach it but never exceed it.

The pipeline that produced this — and that reproduces it for any other voice — is at github.com/dlyog/arm-cooperative-tts


Layout

metadata.csv        <wav>|<text>, one clip per line
wavs/000001.wav     24 kHz mono 16-bit
wavs/000002.wav
...

metadata.csv is pipe-separated — the format the trainer reads directly:

000001.wav|The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
000002.wav|Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.

Fetch

git clone https://github.com/dlyog/arm-cooperative-tts
cd arm-cooperative-tts
bash 1_SyntheticAudioDataset/manage.sh fetch

Or directly:

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
snapshot_download("dlyog/af_heart_arm_tts_dataset", repo_type="dataset",
                  local_dir="1_SyntheticAudioDataset/output")

How the text was chosen

source sentences why
word bank 62 pangrams, spoken numbers, contractions, punctuation — deliberately the cases a phoneme-level model gets wrong. Every pangram is verified programmatically to contain all 26 letters, not trusted from memory
CMU ARCTIC 1,132 phonetically balanced prompts selected by CMU's Language Technologies Institute from out-of-copyright Project Gutenberg prose, specifically for single-speaker TTS
LLM-generated remainder topical variety — small talk, directions, scheduling, customer service — so the voice is not only read-aloud prose

Deduplicated case-insensitively.

How the audio was made

Kokoro-82M af_heart, run in-process, at 24 kHz to match the student model's sample rate.

Clips longer than 6.25 s were dropped, not truncated. A cut-off sentence teaches a model to stop mid-phrase. 6.25 s is therefore the longest clip here, and the trained model is not validated beyond that length in a single pass — longer text should be chunked by sentence.

Statistics

clips 4,104
total duration 3.0000 h
sample rate 24,000 Hz
channels mono
bit depth 16-bit PCM
longest clip 6.25 s
voice af_heart (Kokoro-82M)
language English (US)

Building your own

Nothing downstream is tied to af_heart. One argument changes the speaker:

bash 1_SyntheticAudioDataset/manage.sh all 3.0 am_michael

The text corpus needs no network and no external service — the word bank and CMU ARCTIC prompts are offline. The LLM expansion step is optional and is skipped automatically when no endpoint is configured.


Licensing and provenance

Apache-2.0. The audio was generated by Kokoro-82M (Apache-2.0), so the clips carry no copyleft obligation. CMU ARCTIC prompts derive from out-of-copyright Project Gutenberg text, distributed by CMU for research use.

This dataset is synthetic. It contains no recordings of any real person; the speaker is a synthetic voice from Kokoro-82M. This work is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Kokoro-82M authors.

Intended use: distilling a small single-voice TTS model. Because the teacher is a hard quality ceiling, this corpus is not suitable for training a model intended to surpass Kokoro-82M, nor for speaker-verification or voice-cloning research involving real identities.
