+About the RUV TV unknown speakers corpus
+---------------------------
+The RUV TV unknown speakers corpus is 281 hours of TV data from six RÚV TV
+shows.  The data continas 221,759 utterrances from various unlabelled speakers.
+The text is normalized. The data is aligned and segmented, ready for ASR
+training.  Audio conditions vary between recordings. This data set is published
+by the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service - Ríkisútvarpið (RÚV) and made
+by both RÚV and Reykjavik University. This work is licensed under the Creative
+Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
+
+This is a broadcast dataset collected from RÚV by Rekjavík University in
+2019-2020. So all episodes within this dataset aired in 2019 at the latest. All
+episodes were recorded as digital originals. The text originates from RÚV
+subtitle (.vtt) and teletext (888). Audio files are 16kHz one channel flac
+created from the original .mp4 episodes. The alignment was done using The Kaldi
+Speech Recognition Toolkit (https://github.com/kaldi-asr/kaldi) and the scripts
+from our alignment repository
+(https://github.com/cadia-lvl/alignment-and-segmentation). This dataset was
+released in the year 2022 in February (2022-02).
+
+The dataset contains data from the following 6 shows:
+Fréttir kl. 19:00 - prime time news
+Kastljós - news commentary
+Kiljan - literature discussion
+Krakkafréttir - news for children
+Menningin - arts and culture show
+Stundin Okkar - children's variety show
+
+This dataset complements the RÚV TV data. There are no overlapping episodes:

+- metadata.tsv - This is a tab separated file containing utterance_id,
+  episode_id, show_id, and duration(seconds). Path of the audio file can be
+  constructed from the show_id, episode_id, and utterance_id
+  (data/audio/show_id/episode_id/utterance_id.flac) Within each show, the episode
+  numbers are sequential, meaning episode 4813755 of Kiljan aired before 4813757.
+- text - This is a text file like needed for Kaldi's data directories. It
+  contains the utterance_id followed by the text spoken within the utterance.
+  Unrecognized words are represented with UNK
