# Medical Opinion English Audio Dataset

*This dataset contains intentionally low-quality (“B-grade”) data. It has been curated to include noisy, imperfect, or otherwise suboptimal samples for the purpose of testing model robustness and performance under degraded input conditions

**Text spoken by all participants:**

""Doctor, another physician suggested my chest pain is stress-related, but I'm anxious. It feels like a heavy weight on my heart, and I struggle to breathe deeply. I'm scared. What's your opinion? I need reassurance.""

The dataset supports training and evaluation of models in:

- Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
- Emotional tone classification
- Voice synthesis and generation
- Emotion-aware conversational agents

---

## Intended Uses

### ✅ Direct Use

- Training and benchmarking ASR models with Indian-accented English
- Emotion detection and classification from voice
- Research in affective computing and empathetic AI

### ❌ Out-of-Scope Use

- Real-time or production-grade systems
- Commercial use without proper CC BY 4.0 attribution
- Clinical or diagnostic use cases

---

## Considerations and Limitations

- ❗ The dataset is small (<1,000 samples) and not fully representative of India's linguistic and emotional diversity
- 💡 Emotions are subjective — classification results may vary by listener or model
- 🔄 Future versions will aim to expand multilingual support and speaker diversity
