Additional information
How are dataset recordings structured?
Our off-the-shelf dataset collections comprise unscripted, natural conversations conducted by call recorders recruited, trained, and approved to simulate real-world conversations in common domains. Recordings and transcripts include routine security verifications such as ID, email, and phone number validation.
How do you recruit for speech collection datasets?
Our priority is to create datasets that are unbiased and cover as wide a range of demographics as possible. That is the first consideration when we begin the planning and recruitment process of any speech collection dataset project.
What kind of agreement is in place for the purchase of this dataset?
A Licence Agreement governs the sale and usage of this speech collection dataset. Our off-the-shelf options are available for clients to test and benchmark before larger, custom commitments can be considered that are better suited to client requirements and conventions.
