Earlier this year the Media Lab did an absolutely ginormous automated transcription project. Off the top of my head, it was ~2.8 billion words. 13.1% error rate (vs. ~7% error rate for Google's proprietary solution).
Found the paper on it:

- woodson 7y agoSadly they don’t (well, can’t) release the audio+transcripts as dataset, as they clearly don’t own the rights.
- kick 7y agoThey did release it as a dataset. I have a copy of it. It's massive. I'd recommend reading the paper, it has a link to a place where you can download it, and aside from that, it's also fascinating.
- woodson 7y agoIncluding the audio? I downloaded the transcripts from their bucket, but couldn’t find any information on how to obtain the corresponding recordings. At Interspeech 2019, the author basically told me that they couldn’t share it.
- woodson 7y agoIf you have access to the corresponding audio recordings, would you be able to share them?
