In-the-Wild Speech deliveries
We publish no fixed listings, because nothing is held in stock. What follows is the structure every In-the-Wild Speech delivery takes. The fields your specification needs, and what actually arrives in the package.
Why there is nothing to add to a cart
A catalog listing answers the question "what do you have?" Our model answers a different question: "what do you need?" Every In-the-Wild Speech project is quoted from a specification, which means the price, the timeline and the data itself are all derived from your requirement rather than from something already built.
The tradeoff is real and worth stating plainly: the timeline starts when the specification is agreed, not when you click a button. What you get in exchange is a dataset that matches the requirement, and (for anything unusual), one that is not also available to your competitors.
What arrives in a delivery
| Component | What it is |
|---|---|
| The data files | Format, structure and segmentation set to your pipeline. Named to a convention you specify. |
| Labels or transcription | Orthographic, phonetic or categorical, produced under a guideline you review before production starts. |
| Contributor metadata | The attributes that let you slice the set: age band, gender, region, dialect background, or whatever your task turns on. |
| Collection conditions | Environment, device and, where it can be measured, signal quality: recorded per file. |
| Annotation guideline | The document the annotators worked from, so you can reproduce the conventions on your own data. |
| Consent records | Signed contributor consent covering your intended use, plus cross-border transfer terms where they apply. |
| Collection methodology | How contributors were recruited, screened and scheduled. The part that tells you how biased the pool is. |
| Quality report | Pilot outcome, re-work log, and the annotator agreement figures where the task supports measuring them. |
Specification fields for In-the-Wild Speech
- Volume:total hours, and minimum distinct speaker count. The second number constrains the project far more than the first.
- Language and variety:including dialect where the language has meaningful internal variation, and script where the language has more than one writing system.
- Recording conditions:studio, home, mobile, or a named environment with a target signal-to-noise ratio.
- Annotation depth:Recording device (phone, headset, professional mic) and collection environment must be logged per file.
- Delivery format:audio container and sampling rate, segmentation length, metadata schema.
- Compliance scope:where the speakers are, where the data will be used, and whether the model will be distributed.
Next step
Send the specification and you will get a real number and a real timeline. If the requirement is not something we can source well, we will say so rather than take the order.
