For every page, four questions were answered from its own words: how the data is priced, the published price, in its words, what kind of speech or text, what the contributor is paid. Every stated answer carries the sentence it rests on, checked against the stored text; 'not stated' means the page read does not address the question. A seller with several pages reads 'varies' where they disagree. 12 sellers, 18 pages. ## Sources - [Audio datasets for AI \| ASR \| TTS \| Music \| Defined.ai](https://defined.ai/speech) (read) - [Linguistic Data Consortium - Linguistic Data Consortium](https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/) (not-terms) - [Data Access Plan](https://defined.ai/press-room/defined-ai-launches-data-access-plan-dap-allowing-access-to-speech-datasets-at-affordable-prices) (read) - [DatoricAI/tts-conversational-voice-20000h · Datasets at Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/datasets/DatoricAI/tts-conversational-voice-20000h) (read) - [LINGUIST List: LDC new corpora announcement (non-member fees)](https://linguistlist.org/issues/37/224/) (read) - [ELRA Catalogue of Language Resources](https://catalogue.elra.info/en-us/) (not-terms) - [Language Resources Announcements \| ELRA](https://www.elra.info/en/catalogues/language-resources-announcements/) (not-terms) - [https://www.bas.uni-muenchen.de/forschung/Bas/BasPricingdeu.pdf](https://www.bas.uni-muenchen.de/forschung/Bas/BasPricingdeu.pdf) (not-terms) - [datarade.ai](https://datarade.ai/data-products/nexdata-multilingual-read-speech-data-65-000-hours-aud-nexdata) (read) - [100,000th Job Posted to Voices in its 10th Year of Business - Voices.com \| Voices](https://www.voices.com/1) (not-terms) - [https://tts.ai/sell-voice/?lang=en](https://tts.ai/sell-voice/?lang=en) (unread) - [Text To Speech Datasets \| TTS Data for ASR and NLP Projects](https://www.shaip.com/offerings/tts-dataset) (read) - [datarade.ai](https://datarade.ai/data-products/english-accent-speech-dataset-central-america-authentic-l-filemarket) (not-terms) - [datarade.ai](https://datarade.ai/data-products/nexdata-multilingual-children-speech-data-10-000-hours-nexdata) (unread) - [Speech Data Collection Services \| Audio & Voice Training Data For AI](https://shaip.com/offerings/speech-data-collection) (read) - [AI training datasets: off-the-shelf data catalog \| Appen](https://www.appen.com/off-the-shelf-datasets) (read) - [Earn Money Creating AI Training Data \| Wirestock](https://www.wirestock.io/) (read) - [Licensed AI Training Data & LLM Fine-Tuning Datasets \| Opendatabay](https://www.opendatabay.com/) (read) - [Common Voice on Hugging Face (CC0 licence card)](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mozilla-foundation/common_voice_17_0) (not-terms) - [Lanfrica, the shared evidence layer for African AI](https://lanfrica.com/) (not-terms) - [The AI Rights licensing platform for creators - Created by Humans](https://www.createdbyhumans.ai/) (read) - [datarade.ai](https://datarade.ai/data-products/unscripted-call-center-telephony-speech-data-20-000-hours-nexdata) (read) - [datarade.ai](https://datarade.ai/data-products/nexdata-speech-synthesis-data-collection-services-50-lan-nexdata) (read) - [datarade.ai](https://datarade.ai/data-products/nexdata-multilingual-conversational-speech-data-8khz-tele-nexdata) (read) - [datarade.ai](https://datarade.ai/data-products/nexdata-multilingual-code-switching-speech-data-5-000-hou-nexdata) (read) - [the universe, rule 1](https://datarade.ai/data-categories/speech-data) (unread) - [Linguistic Data Consortium, Join LDC (own membership fees)](https://www.ldc.upenn.edu/members/join-ldc) (unread) - [Linguistic Data Consortium, Obtaining Data (own licensing terms)](https://www.ldc.upenn.edu/language-resources/data/obtaining) (unread) - [Bartz v.
