Code-switching in daily speech

Ukrainian speech dataset

We source Ukrainian speech data to order: speaker recruitment, recording, transcription and annotation, delivered with the consent documentation that makes the dataset usable rather than merely delivered.

What makes Ukrainian hard to collect

Everyday Ukrainian speech is a mix of Ukrainian and Russian (Surzhyk), in proportions that vary from speaker to speaker. On top of that, many people searching this term are language learners. A dataset page has to target the dataset intent only and not drift toward learning demand.

This is the part that cannot be templated. Every language has a specific failure mode, and a project that does not plan for it produces data that looks complete and trains badly.

What we deliver for Ukrainian

  • 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 Ukrainian

How many distinct speakers can you provide for Ukrainian?

It depends on the specification and the timeline, and we will give a real number rather than a target. Speaker recruitment is usually the step that sets the schedule for Ukrainian, so the answer to this question is also the answer to how long the project takes.

Can you annotate to a custom guideline?

Yes, and for Ukrainian we would recommend it. The default conventions for this language leave several decisions open, and those decisions are exactly where annotators diverge. Send us your guideline, or we will draft one and you can review it before production.

Do you offer a sample before we commit?

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 before committing to a full run.

What if Ukrainian is not something you can source?

Then we will tell you rather than take the order. We would rather decline a project than deliver something that does not meet the specification.
