ParsVoice: A Large-Scale Multi-Speaker Persian Speech Corpus for Text-to-Speech Synthesis 文章

arXiv:2510.10774v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Persian remains substantially underrepresented in open speech-text resources, limiting progress in multi-speaker text-to-speech (TTS), speech-language modelling, and low-resource speech processing. We introduce ParsVoice, the largest publicly available Persian speech-text corpus tailored for training multi-speaker TTS systems, along with a scalable pipeline to construct high-quality speech-text data from long-form audiobook recordings. The pipeline combines a fine-tuned ParsBERT sentence-completion classifier, ASR-based boundary optimization, punctuation restoration, speaker identification, and a multi-dimensional quality assessment that covers both audio and Persian-specific text properties. The resulting release contains a 2,200-hour TTS-ready subset with 1.36 million aligned segments from 1,815 automatically identified speaker IDs, making it more than 25 times larger than the previously largest open Persian TTS dataset.
