Linguistic Data Consortium

The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) is an organization that collects, creates, and shares language data—such as speech recordings, text, and annotations—to support research in language technology. It provides resources for developing tools like speech recognition, translation, and natural language processing. By offering high-quality, standardized datasets to researchers and companies, the LDC helps advance language-related innovations, ensuring that language technologies are more accurate and accessible across different languages and contexts.
