I run a call center in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and we have been operating for about five years.<\/p>\n
Over that period, we have accumulated thousands of hours of naturally occurring Swahili call-center conversations<\/strong>. The calls are recorded with customer consent, and we can anonymize\/redact personal and sensitive information before any potential licensing.<\/p>\n I\u2019m exploring whether this type of data could be valuable for companies developing: I\u2019ve started looking into companies such as Defined.ai and Appen, but I\u2019d like to hear from people who have experience in AI training-data licensing or selling speech datasets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n What would be the best way to approach this market?<\/p>\n Specifically: I\u2019m not looking to publish any of the actual recordings publicly. I\u2019m mainly looking for advice from people who understand the AI data marketplace. submitted by \/u\/gillsaint <\/a>
– Speech recognition \/ ASR
– Conversational AI
– Voice agents
– Multilingual AI models
– Swahili language models<\/p>\n
Which companies or marketplaces should I contact?
Is licensing the dataset non-exclusively generally better than selling it outright?
What documentation\/metadata would buyers expect?
What kind of pricing model is typical for large speech datasets?<\/p>\n
Thanks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
