## Dataset Creation
### Curation Rationale
There are not many large-scale ASR datasets in Danish.
### Source Data
The data originates from the now bankrupt company Nordisk språkteknologi (NST), whose data was transferred to the National Library of Norway, who subsequently released it into the public domain.
## Additional Information
### Dataset Curators
[Dan Saattrup Nielsen](https://saattrupdan.github.io/) from the [The Alexandra
Institute](https://alexandra.dk/) reorganised the dataset and uploaded it to the Hugging Face Hub.
### Licensing Information
The dataset is licensed under the [CC0
license](https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).
