Why Singing Voice in Nepali is its own problem

Nepali folk songs and modern songs sit in very different registers: folk material keeps a large number of archaic word forms and vocables, while modern songs stay close to speech. Mixed into one batch, they make the phoneme distribution uneven, and the model is not learning a single distribution.

The field to pin down first: Folk songs and modern songs go into separate groups, each with its own statement of phoneme coverage.

What Singing Voice data is

Vocal recordings with melody, in both a cappella and accompanied form, used for singing voice synthesis, music information retrieval, and lyric alignment.

What buyers get wrong about it

Copyright is the number one problem for this category: melody and lyrics each have their own rights holder. We only produce original or fully cleared content, never existing commercial tracks.

The specification field that decides the quote

Whether the accompaniment is separated (dry vocal) or the mix is kept, and whether MIDI or pitch annotation comes with it.

The language side: what Nepali demands

Usable Nepali speech data is surprisingly scarce, and the accent layers of speakers across borders (Nepal, Sikkim in India, Bhutan) are poorly mapped. Speaker metadata (nationality, home region, language of education), has to be recorded item by item.

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.

Questions we get about Nepali Singing Voice Dataset

How many distinct speakers can you provide for Nepali Singing Voice 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. Folk songs and modern songs go into separate groups, each with its own statement of phoneme coverage.

Can you annotate to our own guideline instead of the default?

Yes, and for this pairing we would recommend it. Nepali folk songs and modern songs sit in very different registers: folk material keeps a large number of archaic word forms and vocables, while modern songs stay close to speech. 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 Nepali Singing Voice 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.
