Dialect profile
Marwari-influenced Hindi, distinct from Delhi Khari Boli in vowel quality and lexicon.
Recruitment pool
Good for non-metro Hindi variety and rural-adjacent speakers.
Excellent for Rajasthani-influenced Hindi, unrepresentative of standard Hindi. That is the point of recording here, but it must be weighted deliberately in the quota matrix.
City choice is a data-quality decision, not a logistics decision. It determines which dialects end up in your corpus.
Studio setup
Booth plus mobile recording kit for district fielding.
Running sessions in Jaipur
Good access and reasonable studio capacity. Tourist-season pressure on venues in winter months affects availability and pricing.
Field recording conditions here
Market and heritage-quarter ambience, with distinctive open-courtyard acoustics.
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
