InfoBayAI/Hindi-Call-Center-Audio-Dataset-Single-Channel

Dataset Description:

This dataset is a large-scale collection of 938,893 hours of processed Hindi single-channel call center audio recordings, containing 2,467,010 hours of processed call center audio recordings across 32 languages, designed to support the development and training of advanced speech AI and conversational AI systems.

The dataset captures authentic speech characteristics such as tone variation, pauses, silence patterns, interruptions, and natural speaking behaviour commonly observed in customer service environments. This makes it highly valuable for building accurate, scalable, and production-ready AI systems for enterprise and customer support applications.

Additionally, this dataset can be used in data pipelines for Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) workflows.

Audio Processing & Refinement Pipeline

To ensure enterprise-grade quality and usability, the dataset undergoes a comprehensive 4-step audio refining and processing pipeline before final delivery:

1. Duplicate Asset Elimination
   Removal of duplicate or repeated recordings to maintain dataset uniqueness, consistency, and high-quality training data.

2. Low-Activity Voice Removal
   Filtering of silent, low-volume, inactive, or low-quality audio samples to improve overall dataset reliability.

3. PII Detection & Muting
   Automatic detection and redaction/muting of personally identifiable information (PII) to support privacy compliance and safe AI training.

4. Background Noise Removal
   Application of advanced noise-reduction and audio-cleaning techniques to enhance speech clarity and improve model performance.

This processing pipeline ensures that the dataset is clean, scalable, production-ready, and optimized for speech AI, conversational AI, ASR, SFT, and RLHF workflows.
