+# Simsamu dataset
+
+This repository contains recordings of simulated medical dispatch dialogs in the
+french language, annotated for diarization and transcription. It is published
+under the MIT license.
+
+These dialogs were recorded as part of the training of emergency medicine
+interns, which consisted in simulating a medical dispatch call where the interns
+took turns playing the caller and the regulating doctor. 
+
+Each situation was decided randomly in advance, blind to who was playing the
+medical dispatcher (e.g., road accident, chest pain, burns, etc.).  The
+affiliations between the caller and the patient  (family, friend, colleague...)
+and the caller's communication mode is then randomly selected. The caller had to
+adapt his or her performance to the communication mode associated with the
+situation. Seven communication modes were defined: shy, procedural, angry,
+cooperative, frightened, impassive, incomprehensible. 
+
+Regarding sound quality, the voice of the regulating doctor is directly picked
+up by a microphone, whereas the voice of the caller is transmitted through the
+phone network and re-emitted by a phone speaker before being picked up by the
+microphone. This leads to different acoustic characteristics between the
+caller's voice and the regulator's, the later one often being much clearer. This
+phenomena is also present in actual dispatch services recordings, where the
+regulator's voice is directly recorded in a quiet room whereas the caller is
+often calling from noisier environments and its voice is altered by the phone
+network compression.
+
+The dataset is composed of 61 audio recordings with a total duration of 3h 15
+and an average duration per recording of 3 minutes 11 seconds. Each recording is
+available as a `.m4a` audio file with 8KHz sample rate and a 128 Kbps bitrate.
+The diarization data is available in a corresponding `.rttm` file and the
+transcription in an `.srt` file.
+
+An additional `metadata.csv` contains speaker ids for callers and regulators in
+each recording.
