Turkish Code-Switching Speech Dataset
Turkish Code-Switching 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 Code-Switching Speech in Turkish is its own problem
Turkish code-switching shows up mostly with English, but Turkey has a history of language-purist reform: many French and Arabic loanwords were replaced with newly coined Turkish words, and both versions are still in circulation. Whether a given word counts as a switch depends on the speaker's age and background.
The field to pin down first: Annotate each speaker's age and language background. They are what explains the differences in word choice.

What Code-Switching Speech data is
Speech that mixes two or more languages inside a single utterance (Hinglish, Spanglish, Taglish), used for recognition in real spoken settings.
What buyers get wrong about it
The switch point is the hard part, where language A gives way to B inside a sentence, different annotators can place it several words apart. The guideline has to be fixed before annotation starts.
The specification field that decides the quote
Whether annotation marks word-level switch points or only tags the language of the whole utterance. The workload differs by a multiple.
The language side: what Turkish demands
Turkish is an agglutinative language: one root can carry a long chain of suffixes, so the word list explodes. Istanbul and eastern accents also differ noticeably, if speaker origin is not recorded clearly, model generalization suffers.
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.

Questions we get about Turkish Code-Switching Speech Dataset
How many distinct speakers can you provide for Turkish Code-Switching 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. Annotate each speaker's age and language background. They are what explains the differences in word choice.
Can you annotate to our own guideline instead of the default?
Yes, and for this pairing we would recommend it. Turkish code-switching shows up mostly with English, but Turkey has a history of language-purist reform: many French and Arabic loanwords were replaced with newly coined Turkish words, and both versions are still in circulation. 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 Turkish Code-Switching 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.
