# TEDxTN: A Three-way Speech Translation Corpus for Code-Switched Tunisian Arabic - English


<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->

Contact person : fethi.bougares@elyadata.com 

We introduce TEDxTN, the first publicly available Tunisian Arabic to English
speech translation dataset. This work is in line with the ongoing effort to mitigate the data
scarcity obstacle for a number of Arabic dialects. We collected, segmented, transcribed
and translated 108 TEDx talks following our internally developed annotations guidelines. The
collected talks represent 25 hours of speech with code-switching that cover speakers with
various accents from over 11 different regions of Tunisia.
