Sinhala Live Stream Speech Dataset
Sinhala 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 Sinhala is its own problem
Sinhala live streams have dense English embedding, and younger streamers write Sinhala in Latin letters. That leaves transcription with inconsistent orthography, so the convention has to be settled first.
The field to pin down first: Transcription uses standard Sinhala script throughout; state how Latin-script content is handled.

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 Sinhala demands
Everyday Sinhala conversation is heavily embedded with English words, especially in the Colombo urban belt. Treating this mixed speech as pure Sinhala strips out high-frequency loanwords as if they were errors.
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 Sinhala Live Stream Speech
How many distinct speakers can you provide for Sinhala 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. Transcription uses standard Sinhala script throughout; state how Latin-script content is handled.
Can you annotate to our own guideline instead of the default?
Yes, and for this pairing we would recommend it. Sinhala live streams have dense English embedding, and younger streamers write Sinhala in Latin letters. 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 Sinhala 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.
