Turkish data for AI training, collected to your brief
Turkish data from IndecalAI is collected or reviewed by a native Turkish speaker, not pulled from an existing archive. We work with speakers across the Middle East and Central Asia, where a formal written register and everyday speech can diverge sharply, matched to your brief and checked before delivery.
What Turkish data can we produce?
Turkish data from IndecalAI is speech, text, conversational and translation data collected or reviewed by a Turkish speaker for your brief, not pulled from an existing archive.
A formal written register and everyday spoken language can differ sharply in this region, so we ask upfront whether you need the standard written form, a regional spoken variety, or both.
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 Turkish and another language.
Translation projects often pair this language with English or another regional language. See translation and localization for that scope.

What to know about Turkish before you brief it
Turkish is the national language of Turkey, and large communities speak it in Germany and elsewhere in Europe, where younger speakers often mix it with the language of the country they live in.
Turkish adds endings to words in long chains, so a single word can express what English takes a whole phrase to say, and vocabulary-based tools struggle without a good morphological approach. A well-known pitfall is the dotted and dotless letter i: converting text to capital or lower case with English rules changes the wrong letters and corrupts words. Test that before you collect at volume.
Languages that sit close to Turkish in script, family or region: Azerbaijani data, Turkmen data, Uzbek data, Kazakh data, Kurdish data and Bulgarian 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 Turkish data
Each links to the service that runs it, with its full scope and process.
Turkish speech data
Recorded speech in Turkish: calls, prompts and voice bot utterances, in either the standard written register or a regional spoken variety, to your brief.
Turkish text data
Written Turkish: messages, reviews, tickets or chat logs, written or labeled by people who read it natively.
Turkish conversational data
Scripted or spontaneous Turkish dialogue for voice bots and support agents, in the formal or everyday register your brief calls for.
Turkish translation
Human-verified translation between Turkish and another language, covering both formal and everyday registers.
What to put in a Turkish brief
Four things worth deciding before contributors start, so the first sample already looks right.
Region or dialect
Turkish is spoken mainly in Turkey and Cyprus, with large communities in Germany and elsewhere in Europe. Worth naming in a brief: Istanbul standard, regional Anatolian speech, diaspora Turkish. Tell us the region or community you're targeting so contributors are matched to the right one.
Script or transliteration
Script for Turkish: 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 Turkish data
One named contact owns the project from scoping to the last file.
Brief
You tell us the data type, the Turkish 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 Turkish data ends up
Common jobs for Turkish data. They're examples of the work, not a client list.
Voice bots and IVR
Recorded Turkish prompts and calls teach a voice bot to recognize how people actually speak, not just how a script reads.
Support chat and tickets
Everyday Turkish messages, written in the domain you work in, give a chat assistant real phrasing to learn from.
Content moderation and sentiment
Labeled Turkish 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 Turkish so a product reads like it was written for that market, not machine-translated.
Off-the-shelf Turkish 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 Turkish: see the Turkish speech dataset. Here's how the two paths compare.
| Topic | A typical off-the-shelf dataset | Turkish data with us |
|---|---|---|
| Already collected? | No way to know until you've already paid for it | Yes: roughly 500 hours of Turkish 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 |

Where Turkish data fits
Turkish is one of 100 languages on our languages directory. You can also browse every category on the datasets hub.
Questions about Turkish data
The datasets FAQ covers questions that apply across every category.
Do you support Turkish?
Yes. Turkish 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 Turkish data collected?
Yes. Roughly 500 hours of Turkish speech, prompts and conversations are already recorded and ready to license. The Turkish speech dataset page has the details, and anything it doesn't cover we collect to your brief.
Can you mix regional varieties of Turkish 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 Turkish?
Speech, text, conversational data and translation to or from Turkish. Image and video categories don't depend on language, so Turkish 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 Turkish?
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 Turkish 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 Turkish should I ask for?
Ask for the one your users actually speak. Turkish is spoken mainly in Turkey and Cyprus, with large communities in Germany and elsewhere in Europe, and the forms most worth naming in a brief are Istanbul standard, regional Anatolian speech, diaspora Turkish. If you are unsure, describe your users and where they live, and your named contact will help you decide before collection starts.
How is Turkish written, and does it matter for the data?
Turkish 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.
