# Kashmiri TTS Dataset
[**Project Page**](https://gaash-lab.github.io/Bolbosh) | [**GitHub**](https://github.com/gaash-lab/Bolbosh) | [**Paper**](https://huggingface.co/papers/2603.07513)
## Overview
This dataset is the **Text-to-Speech (TTS) corpus for the Kashmiri language**, as presented in the paper "[Bolbosh: Script-Aware Flow Matching for Kashmiri Text-to-Speech](https://huggingface.co/papers/2603.07513)".
The dataset is a **derived and curated combination** of Kashmiri speech data from the **IndicVoices-R** corpus and the **RASA** speech dataset. It was used to develop Bolbosh, an open-source neural TTS system designed to handle the specific orthographic and phonological challenges of the Kashmiri language.
