What we annotate

Turn raw audio into structured training data

Audio data becomes useful for AI only when it is labeled with clear context. Speech models need accurate transcripts, speaker turns, timestamps, intent, emotion, noise conditions, domain vocabulary and quality markers.

We help teams prepare audio datasets that are easier to train, evaluate and improve. The workflow can be designed for a small pilot batch, continuous annotation pipeline or a large multilingual data project.

  • Review workflows and correction cycles
  • Batch-level quality notes and issue tracking
  • Exports aligned with training and evaluation pipelines

Annotation workflow

From raw audio to reviewed training data

We structure the annotation workflow so each batch follows the same rules, review process and delivery format.

01

Scope

Define audio type, languages, domains, label taxonomy, transcription style and delivery format.

02

Prepare

Organize files, metadata, instructions, privacy rules, sampling plan and annotation guidelines.

03

Annotate

Label speech, speakers, timestamps, intents, emotions, topics or audio events as per project scope.

04

Review

Run quality checks, reviewer validation, disagreement resolution and guideline correction.

05

Deliver

Export annotations in CSV, JSON, JSONL, SRT, VTT or custom format with project documentation.

06

Improve

Use model feedback, edge cases and quality reports to refine guidelines and future batches.

Capabilities

Capabilities for reliable speech data labeling

Custom labeling guidelines

Create clear project-specific annotation rules for transcription, speakers, intents, emotion and quality labels.

Timestamp precision

Add segment-level timestamps for speech turns, sound events, important phrases or QA review points.

Multilingual support

Plan language-specific annotation workflows, reviewer checks and vocabulary rules for multilingual datasets.

Quality assurance

Use sampling, reviewer checks, agreement review and correction loops to improve consistency.

PII handling

Support redaction workflows, masking rules and secure handling for sensitive voice data where required.

Domain vocabulary

Handle healthcare, finance, legal, telecom, education or enterprise terms with custom instructions.

Model-ready exports

Deliver annotations in structured schemas that can be used by training, evaluation or analytics teams.

Batch reporting

Provide batch status, quality notes, issue logs and delivery summaries for project tracking.

Data types

Audio data we can help annotate

Call recordings

Customer support calls, sales calls, IVR recordings and quality-monitoring samples.

Meetings and interviews

Multi-speaker conversations with speaker turns, timestamps and summaries.

Voice commands

Short command phrases for assistants, devices, apps and automation flows.

Audio events

Environmental sounds, alarms, music, noise, silence, activities and event-based audio.

Healthcare voice notes

Clinical notes, consultation recordings and healthcare-specific spoken content.

Multilingual speech

Speech samples across languages, accents, dialects and regional vocabulary.

Quality process

Quality control is built into the annotation flow

Speech data is sensitive to accents, noise, domain words, overlapping speech and ambiguous emotion. We use guidelines and review loops to reduce inconsistency.

Annotation guideline creation

Before labeling starts, we define what should be transcribed, ignored, timestamped, redacted and tagged. This avoids inconsistent labels later.

Annotator training

Annotators follow project examples, edge-case rules, language instructions and sample-reviewed tasks before working on large batches.

Multi-level QA

Quality review can include peer review, senior reviewer checks, random sampling, issue logs and correction cycles.

Consistency tracking

We monitor repeated mistakes, ambiguous labels, guideline gaps and annotator disagreement so the dataset improves across batches.

FAQ

Audio and speech annotation questions

Yes. We can follow either verbatim transcription, which keeps filler words and pauses, or clean transcription, which removes unnecessary speech artifacts depending on your model or business use case.
Yes. For call center audio, we can label speaker turns as agent, customer or other speaker, with timestamps and call-level metadata.
Yes, but the output quality depends on audio clarity. For noisy files, we can add quality tags, noise labels, unclear speech markers and reviewer notes.
Yes. We can label sentiment, emotion, tone, escalation, dissatisfaction, confusion and other behavioral markers based on project guidelines.
Yes, with the right process. We can define access rules, redaction guidelines, secure delivery and data handling procedures before starting the project.
Yes. We can deliver model-ready annotations in structured formats required for ASR, voice assistant, call analytics, emotion recognition or audio classification training.
