Recruitment pool
Good mid-size-city Hindi pool at lower cost than metros.
Central Indian Hindi is systematically under-represented in existing corpora, so this cohort adds variance rather than reinforcing the mean.
City choice is a data-quality decision, not a logistics decision. It determines which dialects end up in your corpus.
Studio setup
Partner booth with district fielding.
Running sessions in Indore

Field recording conditions here
Market interiors and small-manufacturing environments, with quieter residential streets available.
The numbers we hold ourselves to
- 100% of delivered files pass automated technical QA for SNR, clipping, duration and silence
- 5-25% of files pass a second native-speaker content review, stratified by city, dialect and transcriber, and escalating to 100% on any batch that fails the agreed threshold
- Accepted yield runs 85-90% for scripted speech, 60-70% for spontaneous, 55-65% for conversational and 50-60% for telephony
- Default cohort quotas: 50/50 gender, with age bands at 30% (18-25), 40% (26-40) and 30% (41-60)
- 48 kHz / 24-bit capture, delivered as 16-bit PCM WAV, with studio sessions held below a -50 dBFS noise floor
- First response within one working day; a scoped, fixed quote within two to three
These are the figures a delivery is measured against, not aspirations. A batch that misses them is re-recorded at our cost rather than repaired.
What every session includes
- Local coordinators recruit and screen against your quota matrix
- Participants are briefed and consented on site
- Sessions run to the same template as every other city in the network
- Technical QA runs on upload, so defects are caught while the speaker can still be recalled
