Javanese data for AI training, collected to your brief
Javanese data from IndecalAI is collected or reviewed by a native Javanese speaker, not pulled from an existing archive. We work with speakers across Southeast Asia, often alongside two or three other languages in the same household, matched to your brief and checked before delivery.
What Javanese data can we produce?
Javanese data from IndecalAI is speech, text, conversational and translation data collected or reviewed by a Javanese speaker for your brief, not pulled from an existing archive.
Code-mixing with English or a neighboring language is common in everyday speech and text here, and a brief should say whether to keep that mixing or write a cleaner single-language version.
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 Javanese 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 Javanese before you brief it
Javanese is spoken by a very large community on the island of Java, and it is the mother tongue of a big share of Indonesia. Its literature and court tradition go back many centuries.
Javanese has speech levels: the vocabulary and endings change depending on how much respect the speaker owes the listener, from a casual level among friends to a refined one for elders. A dataset that mixes levels without labeling them is hard to use. State which levels you need and who speaks to whom. Most written Javanese today uses Latin letters, while the old script survives in signs and teaching.
Languages that sit close to Javanese in script, family or region: Sundanese data, Indonesian data, Malay data, Filipino data, Cebuano data and Ilocano 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 Javanese data
Each links to the service that runs it, with its full scope and process.
Javanese speech data
Recorded speech in Javanese: calls, prompts and voice bot utterances, including the code-mixing with other local languages if your brief calls for it.
Javanese text data
Written Javanese: messages, reviews, tickets or chat logs, written or labeled by people who read it natively.
Javanese conversational data
Scripted or spontaneous Javanese dialogue for voice bots and support agents, including the code-mixing common in everyday conversation here.
Javanese translation
Human-verified translation between Javanese and another language, covering prompts, UI copy and training data.
What to put in a Javanese brief
Four things worth deciding before contributors start, so the first sample already looks right.
Region or dialect
Javanese is spoken mainly in Central and East Java and Yogyakarta in Indonesia, with communities in Suriname and Malaysia. Worth naming in a brief: Central Javanese (Surakarta and Yogyakarta), East Javanese, Banyumasan. Tell us the region or community you're targeting so contributors are matched to the right one.
Script or transliteration
Script for Javanese: Latin letters in everyday use, with the traditional Javanese script used for cultural purposes. 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 Javanese data
One named contact owns the project from scoping to the last file.
Brief
You tell us the data type, the Javanese 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 Javanese data ends up
Common jobs for Javanese data. They're examples of the work, not a client list.
Voice bots and IVR
Recorded Javanese prompts and calls teach a voice bot to recognize how people actually speak, not just how a script reads.
Support chat and tickets
Everyday Javanese messages, written in the domain you work in, give a chat assistant real phrasing to learn from.
Content moderation and sentiment
Labeled Javanese 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 Javanese so a product reads like it was written for that market, not machine-translated.
Off-the-shelf Javanese 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 Javanese: see the Javanese speech dataset. Here's how the two paths compare.
| Topic | A typical off-the-shelf dataset | Javanese data with us |
|---|---|---|
| Already collected? | No way to know until you've already paid for it | Yes: roughly 500 hours of Javanese 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 |
Javanese data terms, in plain words
General definitions. They describe the field, not a claim about us.
Where Javanese data fits
Javanese is one of 100 languages on our languages directory. You can also browse every category on the datasets hub.
Questions about Javanese data
The datasets FAQ covers questions that apply across every category.
Do you support Javanese?
Yes. Javanese 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 Javanese data collected?
Yes. Roughly 500 hours of Javanese speech, prompts and conversations are already recorded and ready to license. The Javanese speech dataset page has the details, and anything it doesn't cover we collect to your brief.
Can you mix regional varieties of Javanese 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 Javanese?
Speech, text, conversational data and translation to or from Javanese. Image and video categories don't depend on language, so Javanese 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 Javanese?
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 Javanese 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 Javanese should I ask for?
Ask for the one your users actually speak. Javanese is spoken mainly in Central and East Java and Yogyakarta in Indonesia, with communities in Suriname and Malaysia, and the forms most worth naming in a brief are Central Javanese (Surakarta and Yogyakarta), East Javanese, Banyumasan. If you are unsure, describe your users and where they live, and your named contact will help you decide before collection starts.
How is Javanese written, and does it matter for the data?
Javanese data uses Latin letters in everyday use, with the traditional Javanese script used for cultural purposes. 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.
