Uzbek Audiobook Dataset
Uzbek audiobook 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 audiobook in Uzbek is its own problem
Audiobook production in Uzbek carries a preparation step that most projects underestimate: much of the available literary text was set in Cyrillic, and re-issuing it in Latin script is not a mechanical conversion — distinctions the older norm marks are not carried by the current Latin norm, so a converted text needs word-by-word proofreading. The narrator's generation decides the rest: a reader schooled in Cyrillic moves through an older text fluently and can still stumble over the Latin spelling of words they say every day.
The field to pin down first: State which script the narrator reads from and how a converted text was verified — a machine-converted text handed straight to a reader produces hesitation and mispronunciation that no audio QC can repair.

What audiobook data is
Continuous long-form narration in audiobook style, steady in intonation and generous in duration, the main source material for high-quality TTS.
What buyers get wrong about it
Consistency is the hardest part of long-form narration — over ten hours, one speaker's pace and timbre drift. Segment-by-segment QC and a re-record mechanism are needed.
The specification field that decides the quote
Whether timbre must stay consistent across chapters (the same speaker recording on different days) — this drives the schedule and the cost.
The language side: what Uzbek demands
Uzbek is officially written in Latin script, but a large share of existing corpora is in Cyrillic. The conversion rules between the two leave a few letters without a clean one-to-one mapping, so conversion introduces 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

Questions we get about Uzbek Audiobook
How many distinct speakers can you provide for Uzbek Audiobook?
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. State which script the narrator reads from and how a converted text was verified — a machine-converted text handed straight to a reader produces hesitation and mispronunciation that no audio QC can repair.
Can you annotate to our own guideline instead of the default?
Yes, and for this pairing we would recommend it. Audiobook production in Uzbek carries a preparation step that most projects underestimate: much of the available literary text was set in Cyrillic, and re-issuing it in Latin script is not a mechanical conversion — distinctions the older norm marks are not carried by the current Latin norm, so a converted text needs word-by-word proofreading. 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 Uzbek Audiobook 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.
