Language Data Licensing

Prices, as published

Speech data licensing price: what sellers publish

Updated

The few published speech data prices are in different units, so compare the unit before the figure.

Describe my language data Language, kind of data, hours and consent decide which buyers would look at it.

Two ways a price is published

An access plan buys a block of hours, and a per-dataset price buys one corpus outright on a licence. On this board 2 sellers price per dataset and 1 sells a plan; 1 prices on request.

Where no price is published

7 rows on the table state no price, read up to 2026-10-22. For those sellers the figure is a negotiation, and the table says so rather than guessing.
