What is Elderly Voice?
Speech data from elderly speakers, usually stratified by age band and health status, used for voice products built for older users.
What buyers get wrong
Speaking rate, volume, and articulation vary enormously across elderly speakers, and recruiting them is hard. Too small a sample and the model simply skews toward younger users.
The specification detail that decides everything
Age stratification and whether speakers with speech disorders are included must be stated up front.
This is the line item that most often separates a dataset that works from one that gets re-ordered. It belongs in the specification before production starts, not in the delivery review.
How we source elderly voice
We do not hold inventory in this category. A requirement comes in, we match it to a producer who can meet the specification, and we agree the quality bar with both sides before recording begins. A pilot batch goes first so misalignments surface early.

Questions about elderly voice
Do you have elderly voice available now?
No — we do not hold inventory. Everything is produced against a specification. That means the timeline starts when the spec is agreed rather than immediately, and it also means the data matches your requirement instead of approximately matching something already built.
Can this be combined with other categories in one delivery?
Yes, and it is common. A single specification can cover several categories across several languages, with one pilot batch and one quality bar. It usually reduces total cost because speaker recruitment and project setup are shared.
What does the consent documentation cover?
Signed speaker consent stating the intended use, the collection methodology, and the annotation guideline the data was produced under. For projects involving EU data subjects the chain is built to satisfy GDPR, including the transfer mechanism.
