Kurdish Live Stream Speech Dataset
Kurdish live stream speech 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 live stream speech in Kurdish is its own problem
Kurdish live streams are improvised over long sessions, and the host moves between Kurdish and the state language as the topic shifts — product talk, numbers, and process words pull in Turkish, Arabic, or Persian. The complication specific to this language is that what counts as sensitive speech differs by the country the stream originates in, so one content filter cannot cover a batch drawn from several jurisdictions; the rule has to be set per source country, and cleanup has to happen before delivery. Session length also varies widely, which the segmentation plan has to absorb.
The field to pin down first: Session length and the fixed segment length for delivery are set in advance, and the content-filtering rule is written per source country rather than as one blanket rule across the batch.

What live stream speech data is
Long-session spoken content from live streams — host monologue and responses to audience interaction — fast-paced and heavily improvised.
What buyers get wrong about it
Neither duration nor noise is controllable in live stream audio, and improvised content tends to include sensitive expressions that need filtering. Post-collection cleanup cost has to be priced in from the start.
The specification field that decides the quote
Session length, and whether delivery requires cutting into fixed segments (10-second clips, for instance).
The language side: what Kurdish demands
The two main branches of Kurdish (Sorani and Kurmanji) have low mutual intelligibility, close to two separate languages, and they use different scripts. Public resources are so thin that even TTS datasets are rare — a textbook scarce language.
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 Kurdish Live Stream Speech
How many distinct speakers can you provide for Kurdish Live Stream Speech?
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. Session length and the fixed segment length for delivery are set in advance, and the content-filtering rule is written per source country rather than as one blanket rule across the batch.
Can you annotate to our own guideline instead of the default?
Yes, and for this pairing we would recommend it. Kurdish live streams are improvised over long sessions, and the host moves between Kurdish and the state language as the topic shifts — product talk, numbers, and process words pull in Turkish, Arabic, or Persian. 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 Kurdish Live Stream Speech 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.
