Catalogue statusIllustrative custom specification
Reference volumeIllustrative 4,200-hour specification
Delivery modelScoped pilot → versioned production
Designed for

ASR, voice-agent and conversational-AI teams that need representative Indian speech rather than studio-only audio.

Every specification is adapted to the buyer's model, production environment, data rights and measurable acceptance criteria.

Primary use cases
  • Automatic speech recognition
  • Voice-assistant command understanding
  • Conversational-agent evaluation
  • Accent and code-switching robustness
Annotation schema

Labels tied to model behaviour.

  • verbatim transcript
  • normalized transcript
  • language and code-switch tags
  • speaker cohort metadata
  • device and environment
  • noise and overlap events
  • utterance intent where applicable
Coverage design

Variation before volume.

  • Indian English and selected regional languages
  • Urban, semi-urban and rural cohorts
  • Phone, headset and laptop microphones
  • Quiet, traffic, household and workplace noise
  • Read, prompted and conversational speech
Quality target

Target: ≥98% transcript acceptance on audited segments

Targets are agreed during scoping and reported only after measurement on the applicable delivery.

Quality controls
  • Transcriber qualification by language
  • Second-pass transcript review
  • Audio-text alignment checks
  • Speaker and cohort distribution audits
  • WER-oriented benchmark subsets
Delivery format

16 kHz WAV or buyer-defined audio plus JSONL manifests

Buyer-specific schema and storage requirements can be incorporated before production.

  • Accent labels are descriptive metadata, not identity conclusions
  • Consent scope determines permitted model use
