Hindi Singing Voice Dataset
Hindi 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 Hindi is its own problem
Rights are the first problem to solve for Hindi singing voice — melody and lyrics each have their own rights holders, and Bollywood tracks cannot be collected as they are. The workable paths are original compositions or traditional material that has already been cleared. Technically, Hindi vowels are stretched and reshaped to fit the melody when sung, so their values differ from speech, and the phoneme annotation table has to be designed separately.
The field to pin down first: Whether vocal separation is applied (isolated vocal) or the mix is kept, and whether pitch / MIDI annotation is attached — those two decide the use and the cost.

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 Hindi demands
Hindi and Urdu are mutually intelligible at the spoken level, but one is written in Devanagari and the other in Perso-Arabic script. Which script a recording is transcribed into directly determines whether the data can feed a model targeting Urdu.
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 Hindi Singing Voice
How many distinct speakers can you provide for Hindi 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. Whether vocal separation is applied (isolated vocal) or the mix is kept, and whether pitch / MIDI annotation is attached — those two decide the use and the cost.
Can you annotate to our own guideline instead of the default?
Yes, and for this pairing we would recommend it. Rights are the first problem to solve for Hindi singing voice — melody and lyrics each have their own rights holders, and Bollywood tracks cannot be collected as they are. 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 Hindi 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.
