RIK Cypriot Collection Global
Dataset Description
The RIK Cypriot Collection Global is a diverse audio dataset compiled from 50+ different television programs broadcast on RIK (Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation). This comprehensive collection represents authentic Cypriot Greek speech across multiple domains, genres, and contexts. Crucially, this version of the dataset now includes high-quality text transcriptions for all audio clips. This integration transforms the collection into a robust resource primarily for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) model training and evaluation, as well as continued linguistic and dialectal studies.
