Human data for training and evaluating AI.
Lokah collects speech, images, documents, feedback and expert annotation from contributors, and delivers reviewed, catalogued datasets.

From Hindi call-centre conversations, insurance. Recorded on two channels, so you can listen to either speaker alone.
Coverage
A network where the data comes from.
Contributors across India record, photograph, write and rate in their own towns and their own languages, so the data carries the accents, scripts, streets and judgement a model meets in production. The network is growing beyond India next.
