## Papers

1. **[HebDB: a Weakly Supervised Dataset for Hebrew Speech Processing](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/langstream-2024-turetzky-hebdb-weakly-supervised-dataset-hebrew/)** *(2024)* HebDB is a speech corpus of roughly 2,500 hours of spontaneous Hebrew: podcasts on many topics plus testimonies of World War II survivors, released both raw and pre-processed.
2. **[Enhancing TTS Stability in Hebrew using Discrete Semantic Units](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/langstream-2024-zeldes-enhancing-tts-stability-hebrew-using/)** *(2024)* The paper presents LoTHM, a text-to-speech language model for unvocalised Hebrew. It predicts HuBERT semantic units rather than acoustic codec tokens, so no separate diacritisation step is needed; a vocoder with a speaker embedding then turns the units into audio. The training data is about 4,500 hours of Hebrew…
