Kurdish Call Center Speech Dataset
Kurdish Call Center Speech delivered to your specification. A catalog entry, not a stock listing. This page covers what is specifically hard about this pairing, and which fields your specification needs to pin down.
Why Call Center Speech in Kurdish is its own problem
There is no single Kurdish call center operation. A center in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq runs its scripts in Sorani and writes them in Arabic script; a center serving Turkey's southeast runs in Kurmanji and writes in Latin script, and the two teams cannot read each other's material. Underneath sits vocabulary: the same process term arrives as a Turkish loanword in one place and an Arabic loanword in the other, so one script cannot serve both. Settling the branch and the country the operation serves is the first question, and it changes the collection plan completely.
The field to pin down first: The branch (Kurmanji or Sorani) and the transcript script are fixed in the order, and every agent and caller carries a country-of-origin tag, because the loanword layer tracks the state language on each side.

What Call Center Speech data is
Customer-service calls, simulated rather than intercepted, capturing both the agent and the caller side, used for call center QC, intent recognition, and dialogue systems.
What buyers get wrong about it
Compliance is what buyers fear most: call recordings involve personal data and recording consent, and the source has to be able to produce a consent provenance. This is also why we only do simulated collection and never work from intercepted real calls.
The specification field that decides the quote
Two-channel separated (agent and caller on separate tracks) or single-channel mixed. This directly determines how the data is annotated and how models are trained on it, and it has to be decided when the order is placed.
The language side: what Kurdish demands
The two main branches of Kurdish (Sorani and Kurmanji) have low mutual intelligibility, close to two separate languages, and they use different scripts. Public resources are so thin that even TTS datasets are rare. A textbook scarce language.
What we can put in this delivery
-
Collection to your specification
Scripted or unscripted, in the language, domain and conditions your task needs. Specified separately where the variants need different contributor pools.
-
Labels to your convention
Orthographic, phonetic or categorical, with the guideline written before production and shared with you for review.
-
Contributor metadata
The attributes that let you slice the set rather than take it whole. The ones your task turns on, not a fixed list.
-
Consent documentation
Signed contributor consent covering the intended use, plus collection methodology and the annotation guideline.
-
Pilot batch
A small batch first, which you can reject. Misalignments surface after a few hours rather than at delivery.
-
Delivery in your format
File format, structure, segmentation and metadata schema set to your pipeline's requirements.
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. |
Questions we get about Kurdish Call Center Speech Dataset
How many distinct speakers can you provide for Kurdish Call Center Speech Dataset?
It depends on the specification and the timeline, and we will give a real number rather than a target. For this pairing, speaker recruitment is usually the step that sets the schedule. The branch (Kurmanji or Sorani) and the transcript script are fixed in the order, and every agent and caller carries a country-of-origin tag, because the loanword layer tracks the state language on each side.
Can you annotate to our own guideline instead of the default?
Yes, and for this pairing we would recommend it. There is no single Kurdish call center operation. That is exactly the kind of decision a default guideline leaves open, and it is where annotators diverge. Send us your guideline, or we will draft one and you can review it before production starts.
Do you offer a sample before we commit to a full run?
Yes. Select a free sample in the request form and describe what you need. A pilot batch is the cheapest way to establish whether the quality bar is reachable for Kurdish Call Center Speech Dataset before committing to the full volume.
Is the data licensed or owned outright?
Licensing terms are set per project, so tell us how the model will be used and whether it will be distributed. Consent documentation travels with the data either way, and we do not handle medical or clinical data or recorded telephone calls.
