Question about custom dataset

[LucasRotsen]

Hi everyone!

Firstly, thank you for the great implementation.

I haven't understood yet how should I prepare my data for training, so I'd appreciate if someone clarifies that for me. My assumptions are:

• If I have data from 10 speakers, I should divide it into 2 files in the "filelist" directory (train and val)
• Each of those files should contain a representative sample of all speakers
• The txt file format should be: path_to_audio|transcripts|speaker_id

Are my assumptions correct?

Yes, that's a good start!
Make sure you trim silences at the beginning and end of each of the audio files and the transcript matches the audio file.

Thanks for the quick reply, @rafaelvalle !
