ASR Training Data in Bengaluru
Transcribed speech corpora built to train and evaluate automatic speech recognition, with verbatim transcription, timestamps and per-token language tagging where code-mixing occurs. In Bengaluru, this runs from our local studio setup: Two booths with far-field and device-distance rigs for wake-word capture.

Local dialect profile
Urban Kannada under heavy multilingual contact; the strongest Indian English pool in the country.
Excellent for Indian English accent bands and technology-domain speakers; native Kannada requires residence screening.
