Abstract: A Text-to-Speech (TTS) system requires adequate data to efficiently build an intelligent and natural system. Based on open-source, free-access data availability, languages are classified into high-resource and low-resource. Kiswahili language, which has a vast population of speakers, is still classified as a low-resource language. It is a low-resource language since there is a limited dataset for building Natural language processing (NLP) systems. This article presents a Kiswahili dataset that contributes to the required language processing resources to build a TTS system or other NLP tasks. A TTS system based on an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is the current state of the art, and this dataset has been successfully used to build a TTS system. The dataset consists of 7,108 audio clips from a single speaker, with each audio clip varying from 1s to 12.5s. The total audio length is approximately 16 hrs. The dataset created thus meets all the requirements for developing a Kiswahili ANN-based project.
