Multilingual Data Collection for ASR Model Training
Parallel programmes across several Indian languages at once, run to one specification so the resulting datasets are comparable rather than a set of incompatible deliveries. Applied to asr model training, the specification is driven by one thing: word error rate overall and per dialect.
- Service
- Multilingual collection
- Use case
- ASR Model Training
- Primary metric
- Word error rate overall and per dialect
Required data profile
- Hundreds to thousands of hours of verbatim-transcribed speech
- Wide speaker diversity: age, gender, region, education, recording condition
- Speaker-disjoint train/dev/test splits
Technical specification
| Parameter | Standard |
|---|---|
| Languages | Up to 14 Indian languages plus Indian English in one programme |
| Consistency | One spec, one manifest schema, one QA standard across all languages |
| Balance | Per-language quotas set independently to match your deployment mix |
| Reporting | Single consolidated progress view across languages |
Process
- Master specification written once and localised per language
- Per-language linguistic review of prompts and guides
- Parallel fielding across studio cities
- Central QA applying identical thresholds
- Consolidated delivery with per-language reports
Metrics this feeds
- Word error rate overall and per dialect
- Entity error rate on names and numbers
- Code-switch token accuracy
Failure modes to design out
- Read-speech-only corpora that do not transfer to spontaneous audio
- Speaker leakage across splits inflating reported accuracy
- Normalised-only transcripts with the raw text discarded
The hardest language sets the timeline. Low-resource languages such as Assamese and Odia should start first.
Deliverables
- Per-language datasets in one schema
- Cross-language coverage report
- Consolidated QA summary
Frequently asked
Is multilingual collection the right service for asr model training?
It covers hundreds to thousands of hours of verbatim-transcribed speech. Most asr model training programmes combine it with at least one other service; we will say so in the scope rather than selling one line item.
What languages are available?
All 14 languages in the network plus Indian English accent bands.
How is the evaluation set handled?
Collected first, from speakers disjoint from the training cohort, so improvement is measurable.
