largest language of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Hazara region is the cultural hub of Hindko language. About 80% of the population in districts like Haripur, Abbotabad and Mansehra speak Hindko. The spoken content of Hindko covers a wide range of subjects, including religion, education, poetry, politics, theater, and more. Despite all this, Hindko lacks a voice recognition system that could enhance accessibility, preserve the language, and promote digital inclusion for its speakers. This paper presents a voice recognition dataset that consists of 17,597 voice samples, and is accessible to the public for academic and research purposes. The dataset consists of 20 Hindko digits ranging from 1 to 20 and all the voice samples are taken from the students and staff and faculty of Pak-Austria Fachhochschule Institute of Applied Science and Technology.
