- Who it helps
- Speech researchers and teams evaluating multilingual voice interfaces.
- Availability
- The public catalogue and code were checked October 31. Repository code and documentation use MIT; datasets retain separate licences and access conditions. Python 3.12 is documented.
Coverage varies by language
The catalogue surveys 70 languages, finds datasets for 45 and records none for 25. A catalogue entry is a route to original data, not permission to redistribute it.
Averages hide weak languages
The project reports 363 runs across 33 datasets in 29 languages. No model leads everywhere, and reported difficulties differ by language. These classification results do not establish that a conversational assistant understands a person’s emotional state.

What you can do
- Open your target language’s catalogue page and inspect its recording conditions, labels and licence before choosing data. Open reference ↗
Where the evidence stops
No training or dataset download was performed. Results are author-reported; emotion categories and recording conditions constrain transfer to real conversations.
Sources read. Sources checked October 31, 2026 UTC. No third-party software, model inference or complete workflow was executed.
