How to load local librispeech?

Beginners

Hello! I am new to Hugginface and I was trying to use the load_dataset function for loading librispeech test set like this:

librispeech_eval = load_dataset(“librispeech_asr”, “clean”, split=“test”)

Nevertheless, I already have Librispeech in my computer, so I do not want to have 2 downloads of it. How can I force load_dataset to go load data from my folder and not download anything again?

Thanks a lot

You can clone the repo and adjust the paths in it to reference your local files. When done with that, you can load the dataset with load_dataset("path/to/local/script", "clean", split="test").
