Share your use case
Tell us what you're building, the data type and domain, and roughly how much data you'll need.
02
A specialist reviews fit

03
Test the sample
Review a representative sample alongside the dataset's spec sheet, then scope full volume with your account executive.
FAQ
Common questions
Can I get a sample before licensing?
Yes. Representative samples are available under NDA for most datasets in the catalog.
Can I license the data for commercial model training?
Yes. The standard licence is perpetual and non-exclusive, with commercial training rights. The licence type for each dataset is listed on its spec sheet.
What documentation comes with each dataset?
Each spec sheet covers source and annotation method, collection year and coverage period, language coverage, available quantity, known limitations, licence type and refresh cadence.
What if the catalog doesn't have exactly what I need?
Existing datasets can be extended with additional locales, demographics or conditions. For specific demographics, controlled acoustic environments or specialist domains, we can scope a custom collection under the same governance framework.
How is the data sourced?
All data is collected with explicit contributor consent and documented provenance. Appen is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified and handles data in line with GDPR and CCPA.
