Maithili data for AI training, collected to your brief
Maithili data from IndecalAI is collected or reviewed by a native Maithili speaker, not pulled from an existing archive. We work with speakers across South Asia, where the same request can sound different a few hundred kilometers away, matched to your brief and checked before delivery.
What Maithili data can we produce?
Maithili data from IndecalAI is speech, text, conversational and translation data collected or reviewed by a Maithili speaker for your brief, not pulled from an existing archive.
The same request can sound and read differently a few hundred kilometers away across South Asia, so we ask which region or script variant you need before contributors start.
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 Maithili and another language.
For the wider Indian language picture beyond this one language, see Indian language data.

What to know about Maithili before you brief it
Maithili is spoken in the Mithila region, across northern Bihar and the neighboring plains of Nepal. It was long treated as a dialect of Hindi, and speakers today point out that it has its own grammar, literature and recognition.
The modern script is Devanagari, though the older Tirhuta script appears in historical manuscripts. Because Hindi and Maithili look similar on the page, a lazy pipeline can pass Hindi text through as Maithili without anyone noticing. A native review step catches this, and it helps to spell out in the guideline which verb forms and honorific endings you want treated as correct.
Languages that sit close to Maithili in script, family or region: Hindi data, Bhojpuri data, Nepali data, Bengali data, Assamese data and Odia data.

Four ways to request Maithili data
Each links to the service that runs it, with its full scope and process.
Maithili speech data
Recorded speech in Maithili: calls, prompts and voice bot utterances, with the regional accent or script variant you specify, reviewed before delivery.
Maithili text data
Written Maithili: messages, reviews, tickets or chat logs, written or labeled by people who read it natively.
Maithili conversational data
Scripted or spontaneous Maithili dialogue for voice bots and support agents, built around the regional variety your users actually speak.
Maithili translation
Human-verified translation between Maithili and another language, including the regional script or transliteration your project needs.
What to put in a Maithili brief
Four things worth deciding before contributors start, so the first sample already looks right.
Region or dialect
Maithili is spoken mainly in northern Bihar in India and the eastern plains of Nepal. Worth naming in a brief: Standard Maithili of the Mithila region, Nepali Terai speech. Tell us the region or community you're targeting so contributors are matched to the right one.
Script or transliteration
Script for Maithili: Devanagari, 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 Maithili data
One named contact owns the project from scoping to the last file.
Brief
You tell us the data type, the Maithili 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 Maithili data ends up
Common jobs for Maithili data. They're examples of the work, not a client list.
Voice bots and IVR
Recorded Maithili prompts and calls teach a voice bot to recognize how people actually speak, not just how a script reads.
Support chat and tickets
Everyday Maithili messages, written in the domain you work in, give a chat assistant real phrasing to learn from.
Content moderation and sentiment
Labeled Maithili 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 Maithili so a product reads like it was written for that market, not machine-translated.
Off-the-shelf Maithili 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. We can't promise Maithili is in that pool until you ask, but it's worth checking before you commission a fresh collection. Here's how the two paths compare.
| Topic | A typical off-the-shelf dataset | Maithili data with us |
|---|---|---|
| Already collected? | No way to know until you've already paid for it | We check our ~35,000-hour speech and conversation pool first and tell you honestly either way |
| 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 | Scoped to your engagement, never resold for unrelated projects |
| 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 Maithili data
The datasets FAQ covers questions that apply across every category.
Do you support Maithili?
Yes. Maithili 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 Maithili data collected?
Maybe. We hold around 35,000 hours of off-the-shelf speech, prompts and conversations across our network, but we can't promise Maithili is in that pool until you ask. It costs nothing to check before you commission a fresh collection.
Can you mix regional varieties of Maithili 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 Maithili?
Speech, text, conversational data and translation to or from Maithili. Image and video categories don't depend on language, so Maithili 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 Maithili?
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 Maithili 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 Maithili should I ask for?
Ask for the one your users actually speak. Maithili is spoken mainly in northern Bihar in India and the eastern plains of Nepal, and the forms most worth naming in a brief are Standard Maithili of the Mithila region, Nepali Terai speech. If you are unsure, describe your users and where they live, and your named contact will help you decide before collection starts.
How is Maithili written, and does it matter for the data?
Maithili data uses Devanagari, 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.
