Bangla Singing Voice Dataset
Bangla singing voice sourced to your specification — no inventory, no fixed listing. This page covers what is specifically hard about this pairing, and which fields your specification needs to pin down.
Why singing voice in Bangla is its own problem
The Bangla musical traditions (Rabindra Sangeet, Nazrul Geeti) use a highly literary register that sits very far from everyday speech, while modern pop songs stay close to it. The two have completely different phoneme distributions and articulation habits, and collecting them together strips the data of consistency.
The field to pin down first: Literary repertoire and colloquial repertoire go into separate groups, each with its own phoneme table.

What singing voice data is
Vocal recordings with melody, in both a cappella and accompanied form, used for singing voice synthesis, music information retrieval, and lyric alignment.
What buyers get wrong about it
Copyright is the number one problem for this category — melody and lyrics each have their own rights holder. We only produce original or fully cleared content, never existing commercial tracks.
The specification field that decides the quote
Whether the accompaniment is separated (dry vocal) or the mix is kept, and whether MIDI or pitch annotation comes with it.
The language side: what Bangla demands
The Bangla of Bangladesh and of West Bengal in India has diverged in vocabulary and accent — the everyday word for the same meaning is often different. In search terms and annotation alike, bangla tracks real usage better than bengali.
What we can put in this delivery
-
Read and conversational speech
Scripted recording for TTS, and unscripted conversation for recognition. Specified separately because they need different speaker pools.
-
Transcription to your convention
Orthographic or phonetic, with the guideline written before production and shared with you for review.
-
Speaker metadata
Age band, gender, region and dialect background per file, so you can slice the dataset rather than take it whole.
-
Consent documentation
Signed speaker consent covering the intended use, plus collection methodology and the annotation guideline.
-
Pilot batch
A small batch first, which you can reject. Misalignments surface after a few hours rather than at delivery.
-
Delivery in your format
Audio format, sampling rate, segmentation length and metadata schema set to your pipeline's requirements.

Questions we get about Bangla Singing Voice
How many distinct speakers can you provide for Bangla Singing Voice?
It depends on the specification and the timeline, and we will give a real number rather than a target. For this pairing, speaker recruitment is usually the step that sets the schedule. Literary repertoire and colloquial repertoire go into separate groups, each with its own phoneme table.
Can you annotate to our own guideline instead of the default?
Yes, and for this pairing we would recommend it. The Bangla musical traditions (Rabindra Sangeet, Nazrul Geeti) use a highly literary register that sits very far from everyday speech, while modern pop songs stay close to it. That is exactly the kind of decision a default guideline leaves open, and it is where annotators diverge. Send us your guideline, or we will draft one and you can review it before production starts.
Do you offer a sample before we commit to a full run?
Yes. Select a free sample in the request form and describe what you need. A pilot batch is the cheapest way to establish whether the quality bar is reachable for Bangla Singing Voice before committing to the full volume.
Is the data licensed or owned outright?
Licensing terms are set per project, so tell us how the model will be used and whether it will be distributed. Consent documentation travels with the data either way, and we do not handle medical or clinical data or recorded telephone calls.
