Yoruba AI Training Datasets
Yoruba (Èdè Yorùbá) spoken in Nigeria / Benin (Africa), written in Latin, is one of the languages we build proprietary, rights-cleared datasets for. It is a low-resource language: usable training data barely exists on the open web, so it has to be collected from real speakers with consent. Every Yoruba dataset ships with documented consent, provenance and published quality metrics, and is available with India data residency.

- Is the Yoruba data rights-cleared and safe to train on?
Yes. Every Yoruba record is created or sourced under written contributor agreements granting commercial reuse, with a consent reference and authorship log — never scraped.
- Can you collect more Yoruba data to spec?
Yes. When the Yoruba data you need doesn't exist, we collect and annotate it to your specification across speech, text and multimodal modalities, with an India-residency option.
- How is Yoruba data quality measured?
Each dataset ships with a data card: inter-annotator agreement, QA pass rate, and (for speech) word error rate, with two-pass QA and adjudication.
