VADA-AVSR: an audio-visual dataset of non-native English ("accents") and English varieties ("dialects")
We preprocessed the Visual Accent and Dialect Archive (https://archive.mith.umd.edu/mith-2020/vada/index.html) for audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR), speech recognition (ASR), and visual speech recognition/lip-reading (VSR).
This version currently only contains read speech, specifically, readings of the Rainbow Passage, which contains every sound in English.
