1,766,420 words in 171,861 turns

  • Tamil script, English as spoken

    Words are written in the script the speaker would use; English words stay in Latin script where they were said, so code-mixing is preserved as spoken.

  • Aligned per segment, speakers labelled

    One segment per turn with its start and end time and the speaker, no word-level timestamps. Overlaps are kept as overlapping segments.

  • One tag vocabulary, in square brackets

    Anything that is not a spoken word is a bracket tag from a single list: [pii] for masked personal data, [filler] for hesitations, [overlap] where both speak at once. Plain-text fields carry no tags.

  • Personal data masked, in text and audio

    Numbers of 4 or more digits, digit strings spoken as words, and email addresses are masked as [pii] in text and replaced by a tone in audio. First names are not masked.

Delivery layouts are on formats.
