+### Dataset Summary
+
+*4catac: examples of phonetic transcription in 4  Catalan accents* is a dataset of phonetic transcriptions in four Catalan accents: central, north-western, Valencian, and Balearic. 
+It consists of 160 sentences transcribed using [IPA](https://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/content/full-ipa-chart), following the [recommendations of the Institut d'Estudis Catalans](https://publicacions.iec.cat/repository/pdf/00000041/00000087.pdf).

+
+### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
+
+This dataset can be utilized to evaluate phonetic transcription systems across four distinct Catalan accents: central, north-western, Valencian, and Balearic. 
+
+### Languages
+
+The dataset is in Catalan (ca-ES).
+
+## Dataset Structure
+
+### Data Instances
+
+Four tsv files, one for each accent:
+
+*
+*
+*
+*
+
+### Data Fields
+
+The data fields are the same among all the files:
+
+* `frase` (str): sentence
+* `transcripcio` (str): transcription

+
+## Dataset Creation
+
+### Curation Rationale
+
+We created this dataset to thoroughly evaluate transcription systems across the diverse variants of Catalan. 
+We expect that this dataset will contribute to the development of language models in Catalan, a low-resource language.
+Language technologies in Catalan often overlook some of its variants. With the publication of this dataset, we aim to address this bias.
+
+### Source Data
+
+We commissioned the creation of these sentences and their transcriptions to a team of experts at [CLiC (Centre de Llenguatge i Computació)](https://clic.ub.edu/en/que-es-clic).
+
+#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization
+
+We commissioned the creation of these sentences and their transcriptions to a team of experts at [CLiC (Centre de Llenguatge i Computació)](https://clic.ub.edu/en/que-es-clic).
+
+#### Who are the source language producers?
+
+The original sentences were intentionally written to showcase various phonetic phenomena across Catalan accents. The task was entrused to [CLiC (Centre de Llenguatge i Computació)](https://clic.ub.edu/en/que-es-clic).
+
+### Annotations
+
+#### Annotation process
+
+Each member of the annotation team proposed part of the sentences and transcribed them. 
+Each transcription was reviewed by the other team members and discussed until a consensus was reached.
+They also developed the specifications for the criteria used. These guidelines will be published soon on Zenodo.
+
+#### Who are the annotators?
+
+The annotation team was composed of:
+
+* 2 male annotators, aged 18-25, L1 Catalan, students in the Catalan Philology degree.
+* 1 female annotator, aged 18-25, L1 Catalan, student in the Modern Languages and Literatures degree, with a focus on Catalan.
+* 1 female supervisor, aged 40-50, L1 Catalan, graduate in Physics and Linguistics, Ph.D. in Signal Theory and Communications.
+
+### Personal and Sensitive Information
+
+This dataset doesn't contain any personal or sensitive information.
+
+## Considerations for Using the Data
+
+### Social Impact of Dataset
+
+We expect that this dataset will contribute to the development of language models in Catalan, a low-resource language.
+Language technologies in Catalan often overlook some of its variants. With the publication of this dataset, we aim to address this bias.
+
+### Discussion of Biases
+
+It is a very small dataset developed to evaluate phonetic transcription systems. 
+We didn't identify any biases or risks in the dataset.
+
+### Other Known Limitations
