Noisy Speech deliveries

We publish no fixed listings, because nothing is held in stock. What follows is the structure every Noisy 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 Noisy 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

ComponentWhat it is
The data filesFormat, structure and segmentation set to your pipeline. Named to a convention you specify.
Labels or transcriptionOrthographic, phonetic or categorical, produced under a guideline you review before production starts.
Contributor metadataThe attributes that let you slice the set: age band, gender, region, dialect background, or whatever your task turns on.
Collection conditionsEnvironment, device and, where it can be measured, signal quality: recorded per file.
Annotation guidelineThe document the annotators worked from, so you can reproduce the conventions on your own data.
Consent recordsSigned contributor consent covering your intended use, plus cross-border transfer terms where they apply.
Collection methodologyHow contributors were recruited, screened and scheduled. The part that tells you how biased the pool is.
Quality reportPilot outcome, re-work log, and the annotator agreement figures where the task supports measuring them.

Specification fields for Noisy 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:Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) level and noise type must be annotated per file, or the data cannot be reproduced.
  • 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.
