Catalan data for AI training, collected to your brief
Catalan data from IndecalAI is collected or reviewed by a native Catalan speaker, not pulled from an existing archive. We work with speakers across Europe, with regional accents that a single generic model usually misses, matched to your brief and checked before delivery.
What Catalan data can we produce?
Catalan data from IndecalAI is speech, text, conversational and translation data collected or reviewed by a Catalan speaker for your brief, not pulled from an existing archive.
Regional accents and dialect words inside a single country can trip up a model trained on one generic variety, so tell us the region or audience you're targeting.
This sits across several of our services depending on what you need: data collection for raw speech or text, conversational AI data for dialogue, and translation and localization for converting between Catalan and another language.
Image and video categories on our datasets hub don't depend on language at all, so a project can combine this with visual data from the same region.

What to know about Catalan before you brief it
Catalan is spoken in Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearic Islands in Spain, in Andorra, where it is the official language, and in a small corner of southern France. Most speakers are fluent in Spanish too.
Because nearly everyone is bilingual, Catalan speech often includes Spanish words and phrases, and the amount varies by region and by who is speaking. Valencian and Balearic have their own pronunciation and some vocabulary, so state which one you want. Catalan has accents and special letters that carry meaning and need to be kept, so check that your pipeline handles them from capture to delivery.
Languages that sit close to Catalan in script, family or region: Spanish data, French data, Italian data, Portuguese data, Romanian data and English data.
Deciding what to specify for any language? The guide to speech data collection covers the choices that apply across languages, and the one on transcription for AI and for people covers how speech becomes text.

Four ways to request Catalan data
Each links to the service that runs it, with its full scope and process.
Catalan speech data
Recorded speech in Catalan: calls, prompts and voice bot utterances, built around the regional accent your model needs to recognize.
Catalan text data
Written Catalan: messages, reviews, tickets or chat logs, written or labeled by people who read it natively.
Catalan conversational data
Scripted or spontaneous Catalan dialogue for voice bots and support agents, with the regional accent your users expect.
Catalan translation
Human-verified translation between Catalan and another language, covering prompts, UI copy and training data.
What to put in a Catalan brief
Four things worth deciding before contributors start, so the first sample already looks right.
Region or dialect
Catalan is spoken mainly in Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearic Islands and Andorra, with a small area of France. Worth naming in a brief: Central Catalan, Valencian, Balearic, Northwestern Catalan. Tell us the region or community you're targeting so contributors are matched to the right one.
Script or transliteration
Script for Catalan: Latin letters, left to right. Say whether you want the native script, a transliterated version, or both, especially if your downstream system only reads one.
Data type mix
Speech, text, conversational and translation can be requested together or on their own. Tell us the mix your model needs.
Volume and timeline
A rough sense of how much data and how soon lets us staff the right number of contributors from the start.
From your brief to reviewed Catalan data
One named contact owns the project from scoping to the last file.
Brief
You tell us the data type, the Catalan variety or region and roughly how much you need.
NDA and scope
We sign an NDA before any data moves, then agree the scope with you.
Free sample
We produce a small sample free, so you can check it before you commit.
Production
Contributors from our network work in our own tools, to the brief you set.
Review
A review pass runs before anything is delivered.
Delivery
The data comes to you, or moves on to another service with us.
Where Catalan data ends up
Common jobs for Catalan data. They're examples of the work, not a client list.
Voice bots and IVR
Recorded Catalan prompts and calls teach a voice bot to recognize how people actually speak, not just how a script reads.
Support chat and tickets
Everyday Catalan messages, written in the domain you work in, give a chat assistant real phrasing to learn from.
Content moderation and sentiment
Labeled Catalan posts, reviews and messages teach a model to read tone and intent correctly in this language.
Localizing a product
Translating prompts, UI copy and training data into Catalan so a product reads like it was written for that market, not machine-translated.
Off-the-shelf Catalan data, or built to your brief?
We hold around 35,000 hours of off-the-shelf speech, prompts and conversations already collected across our network, and roughly 500 hours of it is Catalan: see the Catalan speech dataset. Here's how the two paths compare.
| Topic | A typical off-the-shelf dataset | Catalan data with us |
|---|---|---|
| Already collected? | No way to know until you've already paid for it | Yes: roughly 500 hours of Catalan speech are already recorded, and we tell you what they cover before you buy |
| Fit to your brief | Built for whoever bought it first, not your exact region, register or use case | Collected or reviewed to the region, script and format you specify |
| Who else has it | The same files can be sold to more than one buyer | Custom collections are scoped to your engagement. For stock data, who else can license it is set in your licence |
| Checking the fit | You find out after you've already paid for it | A small free sample first, so you check it before committing to volume |

Questions about Catalan data
The datasets FAQ covers questions that apply across every category.
Do you support Catalan?
Yes. Catalan is one of 100 languages in this directory, part of our wider language coverage worldwide, including deep Indian language coverage. Tell us the regional variety you need.
Do you already have any Catalan data collected?
Yes. Roughly 500 hours of Catalan speech, prompts and conversations are already recorded and ready to license. The Catalan speech dataset page has the details, and anything it doesn't cover we collect to your brief.
Can you mix regional varieties of Catalan in one project?
Yes. Tell us the mix of regions or dialects you need and we'll match contributors from our network to that brief.
Which data types are available in Catalan?
Speech, text, conversational data and translation to or from Catalan. Image and video categories don't depend on language, so Catalan speakers can also appear in those briefs on request.
Is a sample available before we commit?
Yes, a small free sample first.
Can this run alongside other languages in the same project?
Yes. Many engagements mix languages, domains and data types under one brief and one named contact, using our network of 30,000+ people across 150+ projects delivered so far.
What counts as a regional variety of Catalan?
A version of the language tied to a place or community, which can differ in vocabulary, pronunciation, formality or script from another region's variety. Name the region in your brief if it matters for your use case.
Can you handle Catalan in its native script?
Yes. Contributors work in the native script by default, with transliteration available if your project needs it instead.
Which variety of Catalan should I ask for?
Ask for the one your users actually speak. Catalan is spoken mainly in Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearic Islands and Andorra, with a small area of France, and the forms most worth naming in a brief are Central Catalan, Valencian, Balearic, Northwestern Catalan. If you are unsure, describe your users and where they live, and your named contact will help you decide before collection starts.
How is Catalan written, and does it matter for the data?
Catalan data uses Latin letters, left to right. The script and its encoding affect how a model reads the data, so say in the brief which one you need and whether a romanized or transliterated version is also required.
