American English Full-Duplex Two-Speaker Conversational Dataset — Prompt-Based Sample

This is a free prompt-based preview (~5 hours) of OcularAI's full American English Full-Duplex Two-Speaker Conversational Dataset. Each conversation is an open, natural discussion seeded by a single prompt — the pair was given one topic and talked freely. (For conversations directed by a designed scenario targeting a specific turn-taking / voice-dynamics behavior, see the companion Scenario-Based sample in the same collection.) It is built from a diverse, representative slice of the full corpus so you can evaluate audio quality, structure, and metadata before licensing the complete dataset. For full-dataset access or commercial licensing, contact OcularAI.

What's in this sample

  • 21 conversations (~5.0 hours of full-duplex conversation content)
  • 42 isolated speaker tracks (one per speaker, Opus)
  • 21 distinct conversation topics — no repeated prompts
  • 20 distinct speaker locations across the US/Canada
  • Mixed speaker demographics (gender, location, ethnicity — all self-reported)

Dataset summary

Natural, unscripted, two-speaker English conversations recorded by fluent English speakers based in the United States and Canada. Each session is a ~15-minute spontaneous discussion between a matched pair of speakers on everyday topics — personal experiences, hobbies, workplace challenges, or opinions that have changed over time.

The recordings support the development of next-generation AI systems — helping them better understand natural speech patterns, conversational flow, turn-taking, and real-world human interaction. Each speaker is captured on an independent, isolated audio track, enabling per-speaker analysis, diarization, full-duplex modeling, ASR, and TTS.

Dataset structure

One row per speaker track, stacked and ordered by room_name so a conversation's two speakers sit adjacent. Each row is one isolated voice with its own metadata; join on room_name to reconstruct the conversation. Audio is the original Opus capture in a .opus container.

Fields (per row = one speaker's track)

field description
file_name this speaker's isolated audio track
room_name conversation/session key — shared by both speakers of a conversation
conversation_id conversation identifier
role SPEAKER_A or SPEAKER_B
speaker_id stable speaker identifier
duration_seconds track duration
language spoken language of the session (en-US)
prompt the conversation topic the pair discussed
gender self-reported
city, country self-reported location
ethnicity self-reported
fluent_languages languages the speaker is fluent in

Rows are ordered by room_name so a conversation's two speakers appear adjacent. Join on room_name to reconstruct a full conversation.

The full dataset

This 5-hour sample is a small, representative slice of OcularAI's full American English Full-Duplex Two-Speaker Conversational Dataset. The complete corpus is substantially larger and continues to grow.

Contact OcularAI for access to the full dataset and for commercial licensing terms.

Privacy & consent

Speaker names and emails are removed. Demographic fields are self-reported. Recordings were collected from consenting, compensated participants for AI research. Access requires agreeing to evaluation/research-only use and no re-identification.

Audio note

Tracks are Opus in a .opus container. Decode with datasets>=4.0 (torchcodec/FFmpeg). For older stacks, losslessly rewrap (ffmpeg -i in.opus -c:a copy out.ogg).
