Punjabi Voice Assistant Dataset
Punjabi Voice Assistant 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 Voice Assistant in Punjabi is its own problem
An intent schema is a text artifact, and a Punjabi text artifact can exist in only one script, which means a schema authored on one side of the border is literally unreadable to annotators on the other. That is before the vocabulary problem: the same intent is phrased with different everyday verbs on each side, so a schema validated on one side's wording under-covers the other. The workable arrangement is to keep the intents identical and deliver the schema in both scripts with per-side example utterances, rather than picking a side and hoping.
The field to pin down first: Deliver the intent schema in both scripts with the same intent set, and attach a per-side example set for every intent: annotators cannot work from a schema written in the other side's script.

What Voice Assistant data is
Command and dialogue data for voice assistants, usually with intent annotation, covering the full chain from wake word to understanding to response.
What buyers get wrong about it
What buyers actually need is intent plus slot annotation, not just audio and transcription. The intent taxonomy has to align with the schema the buyer already runs.
The specification field that decides the quote
Whether the intent schema comes from the buyer or is designed by us. This is the dividing line in the quote.
The language side: what Punjabi demands
Punjabi is the classic case of one spoken language with two scripts: Gurmukhi on the Indian side and Shahmukhi (a Perso-Arabic system) on the Pakistani side. The same passage written on either side cannot be cross-searched against the other.
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.

Questions we get about Punjabi Voice Assistant Dataset
How many distinct speakers can you provide for Punjabi Voice Assistant 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. Deliver the intent schema in both scripts with the same intent set, and attach a per-side example set for every intent: annotators cannot work from a schema written in the other side's script.
Can you annotate to our own guideline instead of the default?
Yes, and for this pairing we would recommend it. An intent schema is a text artifact, and a Punjabi text artifact can exist in only one script, which means a schema authored on one side of the border is literally unreadable to annotators on the other. 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 Punjabi Voice Assistant 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.
