About this Off-the-shelf Speech Dataset

Introduction

Welcome to the US English Call Center Speech Dataset for the BFSI domain designed to enhance the development of call center speech recognition models specifically for the BFSI industry. This dataset is meticulously curated to support advanced speech recognition, natural language processing, conversational AI, and generative voice AI algorithms.

Speech Data

This training dataset comprises 30 Hours of call center audio recordings covering various topics and scenarios related to the BFSI domain, designed to build robust and accurate customer service speech technology.

•Participant Diversity:

•

Speakers: 60 People expert native US English speakers from the FutureBeeAI Community.

•

Regions: Different states/provinces of United States of America, ensuring a balanced representation of US accents, dialects, and demographics.

•

Participant Profile: Participants range from 18 to 70 years old, representing both males and females in a 60:40 ratio, respectively.

•Recording Details:

•

Conversation Nature: Unscripted and spontaneous conversations between call center agents and customers.

•

Call Duration: Average duration of 5 to 15 minutes per call.

•

Formats: WAV format with stereo channels, a bit depth of 16 bits, and a sample rate of 8 and 16 kHz.

•

Environment: Without background noise and without echo.

Topic Diversity

This dataset offers a diverse range of conversation topics, call types, and outcomes, including both inbound and outbound calls with positive, neutral, and negative outcomes.

•Inbound Calls:

•Debit Card Block Request

•Home Loan Enquiry

•Transaction Disputes

•Credit Card Billing Dispute

•Account Closure Procedures

•Claim Procedures

•Premium Payments

•Policy Comparison

•Policy Cancellation or Lapse

•Insurance Renewal Options

This extensive coverage ensures the dataset includes realistic call center scenarios, which is essential for developing effective customer support speech recognition models.

Transcription

To facilitate your workflow, the dataset includes manual verbatim transcriptions of each call center audio file in JSON format. These transcriptions feature:

•

Speaker-wise Segmentation: Time-coded segments for both agents and customers.

•

Non-Speech Labels: Tags and labels for non-speech elements.

•

Word Error Rate: Word error rate is less than 5% thanks to the dual layer of QA.

These ready-to-use transcriptions accelerate the development of the BFSI domain call center conversational AI and ASR models for the US English language.

Metadata

The dataset provides comprehensive metadata for each conversation and participant:

•

Participant Metadata: Unique identifier, age, gender, country, state, district, accent and dialect.

•

Conversation Metadata: Domain, topic, call type, outcome/sentiment, bit depth, and sample rate.

This metadata is a powerful tool for understanding and characterizing the data, enabling informed decision-making in the development of US English call center speech recognition models.
