Disclosure: I run DataBazaar and posted this bounty. I am looking for an original, human-recorded code-switching dataset for speech-recognition research/training.
The request is for 30 clips from two consenting adult speakers (15 clips each), using the same language pair throughout. Any language pair is welcome. Each clip should be 5–15 seconds long and contain meaningful speech in both languages, with at least one language switch. Cover at least five everyday topics overall.
Deliverables: – 30 mono WAV or FLAC files, recorded at 16 kHz or higher. – annotations.jsonl with anonymous speaker IDs, verbatim transcripts, and timestamped language segments; a fluent person must check every clip. Keep hesitations and self-corrections, and mark switch boundaries to approximately 0.25 seconds. – README and a dated consent attestation covering redistribution and speech-recognition research/training. Keep personal contact details out of the submission.
Original recordings made for this bounty only: no TTS, voice cloning, spliced speech, or reused corpora. Transcription assistance is allowed if a fluent person verifies the result. Quiet-room recordings and accurate labels matter more than studio equipment.
The bounty is $60 total for one accepted dataset, not $60 per speaker or payment for every submission. Review the complete acceptance requirements before recording. The deadline is November 15, 2026 at 07:59 UTC, and a DataBazaar account is required to submit.
Full requirements and submission: https://databazaar.io/bounties/3b6815b8-b0ad-48e1-8ec5-4f3f8b89d0aa?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=bilingual-recordings
Existing public corpora would not satisfy this request because it needs new recordings with explicit redistribution consent. Happy to clarify the format or acceptance requirements here.
