+# Multimodal_Greek_Sign_Language_and_Lip_Reading (v1)
+The Multimodal_Greek_Sign_Language_and_Lip_Reading (v1) is a comprehensive dataset designed for research and development in multimodal machine learning, speech recognition, vision recognition, sign language recognition, sign language translation and accessibility technologies.
+
+# Description
+
+The **dkourem/Multimodal_Greek_Sign_Language_and_Lip_Reading-v1** is a comprehensive dataset designed for research and development in multimodal machine learning, sign language recognition, speech recognition, and accessibility technologies. This dataset focuses on the Greek language and provides high-quality, synchronized data across three modalities:
+
+- **Speech**: High-resolution audio recordings of spoken Greek.
+- **Lip Movement**: Video recordings capturing detailed lip movements for lip-sync and speech alignment tasks.
+- **Subtitles**: Accurate text transcriptions and timestamps synchronized with audio and video.
+- **Sign Language**: High quality Video Greek Sign Language recordings capturing detailed sign language and facial expressions with synced subtitles and audio speech translation. 
+
+### Suitable for Tasks Such As:
+- Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
+- Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR)
+- Text-to-Speech (TTS) and Speech-to-Text (STT) applications
+- Accessibility tools for the deaf and hard of hearing
+- Multimodal sentiment analysis and natural language processing
+- Sign Language recogntion and translations tasks (SLR,SLT). 
+
+### Key Features:
+- **Language**: Greek (Hellenic) and Greek Sign Language
+- **Format**: Includes `.wav` for audio, `.mp4` for video, and `.srt/.json` for subtitles and timestamps.
+- **High Quality**: Captured in a professional studio environment for maximum clarity and precision.
+- **Accessibility**: Designed with a focus on inclusivity and use in accessibility research.
+
+### Versioning
+This is version **1.0** of the dataset. Future versions may include additional speakers, dialects, or extended annotations.
