I\u2019ve published a structured transcript dataset of Pinga-Fogo<\/em>, two live TV interviews with Brazilian medium Chico Xavier, broadcast by TV Tupi in 1971.<\/p>\n Together, the two programs amount to roughly 6 hours of material and are among the longest surviving recordings of Chico Xavier answering questions live before a panel of journalists.<\/p>\n Dataset:<\/p>\n https:\/\/huggingface.co\/datasets\/ia-espirita\/pinga-fogo-chico-xavier<\/a><\/p>\n What\u2019s in it<\/strong><\/p>\n 345 speech turns, including 115 answers by Chico Xavier.<\/p>\n Available in JSONL, Parquet, and combined CSV. Each turn includes speaker, turn type, topic label, timestamps, transcript text, source audio, and review flags.<\/p>\n Portuguese only.<\/p>\n How it was made<\/strong><\/p>\n Internet Archive audio \u2192 Whisper large-v3 \u2192 LLM-assisted segmentation and labeling.<\/p>\n The LLM did not<\/strong> rewrite the transcript. It only worked with segment indices, boundaries, speaker\/turn classification, and topic labels.<\/p>\n Every word in the transcript comes directly from Whisper output.<\/p>\n Known limitations<\/strong><\/p>\n This is still unreviewed ASR from degraded 1971 recordings, so there are transcription errors, especially in proper names and numbers.<\/p>\n Every record is marked:<\/p>\n If you want to quote something, check the original audio first. Timestamps are included for that purpose.<\/p>\n The date of the second program is inconsistent across historical sources, so I recorded only December 1971 rather than forcing an exact day.<\/p>\n Speaker attribution is also left as Why I made it<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m building a retrieval system over historical Spiritist literature and primary sources, and I couldn\u2019t find a structured, timestamped version of Pinga-Fogo<\/em> anywhere.<\/p>\n Potential uses include pt-BR ASR benchmarking, speaker-turn segmentation, diarization, information retrieval, and long-form QA.<\/p>\n Human review is the obvious next step.<\/p>\n Corrections and PRs are very welcome.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n submitted by \/u\/SideSuspicious8083 <\/a> revisado_por_humano: false<\/code><\/p>\ndesconhecido<\/code> whenever I couldn’t identify someone confidently.<\/p>\n
