Built for Legal Teams,
Not Just ML Teams
European audio data with the governance your compliance officers require.
Training data is now a regulatory surface. The EU AI Act mandates provenance and bias evaluation. We built YPAI to turn compliance from a risk into an asset.

Every recording captures consent version, purpose, and scope. Revocation propagates across all derived datasets immediately.
EU AI Act Article 10
We document demographic representation, collection methodology, and annotation lineage. Your training data is fully auditable.
Provenance You Can Prove
Each audio file carries metadata: speaker demographics, device, environment, consent ID. When regulators ask, you have the answer.
EU-Soil Processing
Primary data never leaves the EEA. No CLOUD Act exposure. No third-country transfer risk. Supervised by Datatilsynet.
50+ Dialects. Not 500 Languages with Thin Coverage.
Deep European audio from speakers who live the language.
Most ASR training data comes from read speech in standard accents. Models trained on this data fail when they encounter real European speakers.
A customer in Zürich speaks Swiss German. A patient in Glasgow speaks Glaswegian. A factory worker in Bilbao speaks Basque. Your model needs to understand them.
YPAI specializes in the dialects and accents that production systems actually encounter.

Code-Switching Datasets
Real European speakers switch languages mid-sentence. Your model should too.
Real-World Noise
Studio recordings do not prepare models for production. We collect audio in:
Audio Data for High-Stakes Domains
Purpose-built datasets for automotive, healthcare, finance, and industrial applications.
Automotive In-cabin speech recognition that works on European roads.
Voice assistants fail when drivers have regional accents, speak in noisy conditions, or switch languages. We collect:
- In-vehicle recordings at highway speeds (100+ km/h)
- HVAC noise, wind noise, road noise
- Driver and passenger positions
- 70+ European language and dialect combinations
- Wake word and command datasets
- Spontaneous navigation and infotainment requests
YPAI data reduces the gap between demo-room accuracy and real-world performance.
View Automotive Datasets Healthcare Clinical speech data with the compliance your legal team requires.
Medical transcription and ambient clinical intelligence need specialty-specific vocabulary, multi-speaker handling, and strict data governance. We provide:
- Clinical dictation across 30+ specialties
- Doctor-patient conversation datasets
- Telehealth audio with varied connection quality
- Medical terminology in European languages
- GDPR-compliant de-identification workflows
- Emotional and stressed speech for mental health applications
Finance Voice data for fraud detection, biometrics, and compliance recording.
Financial services require audio that reflects real customer interactions, diverse demographics, and adversarial conditions. We collect:
- Call center conversations with emotional variation
- Trading floor audio with crosstalk and jargon
- Demographically balanced voice enrollment samples
- Anti-spoofing and liveness detection data
- Multilingual customer service recordings
- Compliance-ready provenance and consent documentation
Industrial and Manufacturing Speech data from noisy, high-stakes environments.
Voice control in industrial settings fails without training data from comparable acoustic conditions. We record:
- Factory floor speech with heavy machinery
- Warehouse and logistics environments
- Maritime and offshore operations
- Construction sites
- PPE-muffled speech (masks, helmets, ear protection)
- Hands-free command and control scenarios
Gaming and Entertainment Emotional and prosodic speech for next-generation TTS.
Character voices, dynamic dialogue, and expressive synthesis require training data with emotional range. We provide:
- Acted emotional speech (anger, fear, joy, sadness, surprise)
- Whispered and shouted speech
- Character archetypes and accents
- Narrative and dialogue reads
- Prosodic variation datasets
- European voice actor recordings
Why ASR and TTS Models Fail in Europe
The training data problem your vendor will not talk about.
You fine-tuned Whisper. Deployed Deepgram. Integrated AssemblyAI. And your European users still complain.
The problem is not the model architecture. The problem is the training data.
Whisper hallucinates on European accents
OpenAI's training data skews American and British standard. When Whisper encounters Swiss German, Glaswegian, or Andalusian Spanish, it guesses. Sometimes it invents entire phrases that were never spoken.
Deepgram WER spikes on regional dialects
Deepgram performs well on broadcast English. Performance degrades on Liverpool, Belfast, or rural French. Your reported WER is an average that hides regional failures.
AssemblyAI struggles with code-switching
European business speakers switch between English and German, English and French, French and Arabic. Models trained on monolingual data cannot follow the conversation.
Speechmatics regional coverage is brittle
Speechmatics supports many languages. But depth within each language is inconsistent. Nordic dialects, minority languages, and non-capital accents are underserved.
The Fix
YPAI provides the audio data these models lack.
- 50+ European dialects and accents, collected from native speakers in their home regions
- Code-switching datasets across major European language pairs
- Real-world noise conditions, not studio approximations
- Provenance and metadata that let you fine-tune with confidence
- Compliance-ready documentation for EU AI Act and GDPR
Your model is only as good as its training data. Fix the data, fix the model.
