Indonesian Speech Commands Dataset
Indonesian speech commands 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 speech commands in Indonesian is its own problem
English loanwords are normal in Indonesian command words (play, stop, and cancel all get used as Indonesian), and how far those words are Indonesianized in pronunciation differs from person to person. Word list design has to decide whether to include the Indonesianized pronunciation, the English original, or both.
The field to pin down first: The pronunciation convention for loanword entries (Indonesianized / English original / both) has to be locked, and no words may be added after the lock.

What speech commands data is
Targeted recordings of short command words or phrases, usually with many speakers reading each entry several times over, used for wake words and on-device command recognition.
What buyers get wrong about it
What buyers consistently underestimate is the repetition count — a single command entry needs at least a few dozen distinct speakers, each reading it multiple times, to cover pronunciation variation.
The specification field that decides the quote
Once the word list is locked it cannot change; adding words midway means starting a new batch.
The language side: what Indonesian demands
In everyday speech, Indonesians mix in local languages (Javanese, Sundanese) and English loanwords heavily. Three language components inside a single sentence is normal, so word segmentation and annotation rules have to be fixed before collection begins.
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.
What arrives in a delivery
| Component | What it is |
|---|---|
| Audio files | Format, sampling rate and segmentation length set to your pipeline. Named to a convention you specify. |
| Transcription | Orthographic or phonetic, produced under a guideline you review before production starts. |
| Speaker metadata | Age band, gender, region and dialect background per file, plus a speaker identifier so the dataset can be sliced. |
| Recording conditions | Environment, device and, where relevant, measured signal-to-noise ratio per file. |
| Annotation guideline | The document the annotators worked from, so you can reproduce the conventions on your own data. |
| Consent records | Signed speaker consent covering your intended use, with the transfer mechanism addressed where required. |
| Collection methodology | How speakers were recruited, screened and scheduled — the part that tells you how biased the pool is. |
| Quality report | Pilot outcome, re-work log, and the annotator agreement figures where the task supports measuring them. |
Questions we get about Indonesian Speech Commands
How many distinct speakers can you provide for Indonesian Speech Commands?
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. The pronunciation convention for loanword entries (Indonesianized / English original / both) has to be locked, and no words may be added after the lock.
Can you annotate to our own guideline instead of the default?
Yes, and for this pairing we would recommend it. English loanwords are normal in Indonesian command words (play, stop, and cancel all get used as Indonesian), and how far those words are Indonesianized in pronunciation differs from person to person. 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 Indonesian Speech Commands 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.
