The economics of the bundle

One recording, six datasets.

A single consented Bantu→English code-switch noun take — singular and plural — is not one labelled example. Its switch point is logged as switch_ms and it self-segments, becoming ground truth for six things labs otherwise buy from six vendors. The native aligns the word to the meaning, then records the truth — that recording IS the verification. And every take ships with its metadata: FSI syllabification, the full noun equation (class · prefix · composed→surface · concord), the singular/plural class pairing, and the segments boundary — across the whole family.

01

Code-switch ASR

Natural Bantu→English switching with the exact switch point pre-labelled.

02

Bantu-accented English

The English half spoken by a native Bantu speaker — accent-robustness data.

03

FSI alignment

The noun decomposes into its Full Syllable Inventory — the units a forced aligner needs.

04

Pronunciation & TTS

A consented native pronunciation keyed to meaning and class — a clean synthesis basis.

05

Singular↔plural class truth

Both class-inflected forms, so the take teaches the noun-class pairing, not just a word.

06

Aligned concept truth

The noun is anchored to a concept (ref_id) — aligned to the same word in every language.
