Nepali-English Code-Switched Technical Interview Audio and Transcripts

Fewer than 1,000 audio recordings and text transcripts of Nepali-English code-switched speech from technical interviews. Developed by devrahulbanjara and updated in March 2026, it captures software engineering terminology embedded in Nepali conversational grammar.

Use Cases

• Fine-tuning ASR models to recognize English technical terms like 'AWS' or 'VPC' within Nepali speech transcripts
• Linguistic analysis of code-switching patterns between Nepali and English in professional settings
• Building automated transcription tools for technical recruitment in the Nepali IT sector

Strengths

• Specialized domain focus on IT and software engineering terminology
• Apache 2.0 license for open usage
• Dual-modality containing both audio and text transcripts

Limitations

• Small sample size of under 1,000 records
• Narrow domain scope limited to technical interviews which may not generalize to casual speech
• Lack of information regarding recording environments or hardware
