Yoruba speech dataset
Part of the African Voices multilingual speech initiative (Nigerian languages). Audio with matching transcriptions is distributed through the African Voices download hub under that project's terms and release schedule. Way With Words contributed to this strand of ANV alongside other partners. This entry points to the Yoruba configuration on the African Voices download hub. The public site advertises about 1900 hours of audio across Hausa, Igbo, Nigerian Pidgin, and Yorùbá; the hours figure here scales that total by this language’s share of published Hugging Face export rows (`9jalingo-*` splits). Splits and attribution evolve—confirm on the hub before benchmarking.
