Access EchoLens
EchoLens contains 20,008 recordings of identifiable human speech from 515 consenting participants, released under Stanford IRB protocol #77233. Access is granted automatically to signed-in Hugging Face users who accept the use policy below.
EchoLens use policy
EchoLens contains identifiable human speech. A voice is biometric, and a
speaker with a known reference sample could in principle be re-identified.
Participants were never asked to state names or other direct identifiers. All
515 participants gave informed
consent to public release of their recordings through public research
repositories (Stanford IRB protocol #77233). Your access is conditioned on the
commitments below.
You may use EchoLens for non-commercial research on the fairness,
robustness, and evaluation of speech and audio-language systems, including
training research models, consistent with CC BY-NC 4.0.
You may not
- attempt to identify, contact, or infer the legal identity of any speaker;
- use the recordings for speaker recognition, speaker verification, voice
biometrics, voice cloning, or synthetic voice generation; - use the recordings in production or deployed voice systems;
- treat any recording or demographic label as evidence of a speaker's actual
identity, race, gender, or national origin; - re-host the audio in any ungated venue;
- use EchoLens for any commercial purpose without prior written permission
from the authors.
Demographic labels are self-reported and support a bounded Black/White ×
Female/Male audit design. They are not ground truth about any individual.
Participants retain the right to withdraw. On a withdrawal request the
maintainers will remove the affected recordings and issue a new version; you
agree to delete withdrawn recordings from your copies on notification.
