Quechua data for AI training, collected to your brief
Quechua data from IndecalAI is collected or reviewed by a native Quechua speaker, not pulled from an existing archive. We work with speakers across the Americas, often alongside Spanish, Portuguese, English or French in the same community, matched to your brief and checked before delivery.
What Quechua data can we produce?
Quechua data from IndecalAI is speech, text, conversational and translation data collected or reviewed by a Quechua speaker for your brief, not pulled from an existing archive.
This language is often spoken alongside Spanish, Portuguese, English or French in the same community, so 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 Quechua and another language.
Translation projects often pair this language with Spanish, Portuguese or English. See translation and localization for that scope.

What to know about Quechua before you brief it
Quechua was the language of the Inca empire and today is spoken by millions across the Andes, which makes it the most widely spoken Indigenous language family in the Americas. It is an official language in Peru and Bolivia.
Quechua is really a family of related varieties, and speakers of distant ones, such as Cusco and Ancash, do not always understand each other. Standard spelling systems exist, with a three-vowel convention used for the southern variety, but older material uses other spellings. Almost all speakers are bilingual with Spanish, so name the variety, the country, and whether Spanish mixing belongs in your data.
Languages that sit close to Quechua in script, family or region: Guarani data, Nahuatl data, Spanish data, Portuguese data, Haitian Creole 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 Quechua data
Each links to the service that runs it, with its full scope and process.
Quechua speech data
Recorded speech in Quechua: calls, prompts and voice bot utterances, matched to the community and reviewed before delivery.
Quechua text data
Written Quechua: messages, reviews, tickets or chat logs, written or labeled by people who read it natively.
Quechua conversational data
Scripted or spontaneous Quechua dialogue for voice bots and support agents, reflecting how speakers here actually mix languages.
Quechua translation
Human-verified translation between Quechua and Spanish, Portuguese, English or another language in the same project.
What to put in a Quechua brief
Four things worth deciding before contributors start, so the first sample already looks right.
Region or dialect
Quechua is spoken mainly in the Andes, including Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Argentina and Chile. Worth naming in a brief: Southern Quechua (Cusco-Collao, Ayacucho-Chanka), Ancash, Kichwa in Ecuador. Tell us the region or community you're targeting so contributors are matched to the right one.
Script or transliteration
Script for Quechua: 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 Quechua data
One named contact owns the project from scoping to the last file.
Brief
You tell us the data type, the Quechua 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 Quechua data ends up
Common jobs for Quechua data. They're examples of the work, not a client list.
Voice bots and IVR
Recorded Quechua prompts and calls teach a voice bot to recognize how people actually speak, not just how a script reads.
Support chat and tickets
Everyday Quechua messages, written in the domain you work in, give a chat assistant real phrasing to learn from.
Content moderation and sentiment
Labeled Quechua 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 Quechua so a product reads like it was written for that market, not machine-translated.
Off-the-shelf Quechua 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 Quechua 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 | Quechua 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 |

Where Quechua data fits
Quechua is one of 100 languages on our languages directory. You can also browse every category on the datasets hub.
Questions about Quechua data
The datasets FAQ covers questions that apply across every category.
Do you support Quechua?
Yes. Quechua 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 Quechua 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 Quechua is in that pool until you ask. It costs nothing to check before you commission a fresh collection.
Can you mix regional varieties of Quechua 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 Quechua?
Speech, text, conversational data and translation to or from Quechua. Image and video categories don't depend on language, so Quechua 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 Quechua?
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 Quechua 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 Quechua should I ask for?
Ask for the one your users actually speak. Quechua is spoken mainly in the Andes, including Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Argentina and Chile, and the forms most worth naming in a brief are Southern Quechua (Cusco-Collao, Ayacucho-Chanka), Ancash, Kichwa in Ecuador. If you are unsure, describe your users and where they live, and your named contact will help you decide before collection starts.
How is Quechua written, and does it matter for the data?
Quechua 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.
