-## Hugging Face Dataset Card: Kazakh_Speech_Corpus_2
+# Kazakh Speech Corpus (KSC) Dataset Card
 
-**Summary:**
+This dataset card describes the Kazakh Speech Corpus (KSC), a large-scale, open-source speech corpus for the Kazakh language.
 
-This dataset, Kazakh_Speech_Corpus_2, is intended for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) tasks in the Kazakh language.  Unfortunately, due to a missing README file on the original repository, detailed information regarding the dataset's composition, size, and specific characteristics is unavailable.  Further information is needed to fully describe the dataset's contents and intended use.
+## Summary
 
-**Repository:**
+The KSC contains approximately 332 hours of transcribed audio, comprising over 153,000 utterances spoken by participants from diverse regions, age groups, and genders.  It's the largest publicly available Kazakh speech corpus, designed to advance speech and language processing applications for the Kazakh language, a low-resource language within the Turkic language family. The data was crowdsourced via a web-based platform, and rigorously checked by native Kazakh speakers to ensure high quality.  Preliminary speech recognition experiments yielded promising results (2.8% character error rate and 8.7% word error rate on the test set).  An ESPnet recipe for reproducible speech recognition experiments is also provided.
