You already have the calls. We do the rest.
We check the rights, clean the recordings, put them in the format buyers want, and sell them. You approve the deal and get paid.
Buyers only ever see de-identified samples, under NDA.

Years of calls, sitting in storage.
Every call center, sales team and support line records its calls. AI companies training speech and voice models pay for real conversations. Most owners do not know that, and the ones who do get stuck on the same six things.
Who buys
Buyers are not listed anywhere. You have to know who they are and how to reach them.
What they want
Each buyer has its own file formats, sample sets and quality bar.
Personal details
Names, numbers and card data have to come out of the audio and the text. One miss is costly.
Whether you can sell
Consent notices and contracts decide what you may license, and state laws differ.
A fair price
With no market to compare against, a good offer and a bad one look the same.
Time
Doing all of this is a project in itself. Most teams never start it.
100,000+ hoursof my own recorded calls
I had over 100,000 hours of recorded calls from my own pay-per-call work. I did not know they had a market.
They do. But selling them is not the hard part. The work is: consent, redaction, formats, buyers, contracts. Most companies will never get to it.
Hourvale does that work, so your recordings can earn something instead of sitting in storage.
One archive, start to finish.
You hand over the archive. We do six things. It starts with a 10 minute call and no upload.
Check the rights
We read your consent disclosures and contracts to see what can legally be sold, call by call, before anything moves.
Illustrative. Results depend on your own notices and contracts.
De-identify
Names, phone numbers, card numbers, addresses and anything else personal come out of the text. The same spoken details are bleeped in the audio.
00:02AgentThanks for calling, this is [NAME]. Can I get your name?
00:07CallerSure, it is [NAME]. My number is [PHONE].
00:18Caller[ADDRESS].
00:26CallerThe card is [CARD].
Made-up details. Not a real call. Try the toggle.
Transcribe and label
Every call gets speaker turns, timestamps and metadata, so buyers can search, filter and sample it.
Package for each buyer
Their file formats and their sample sets. WAV or FLAC, split channels, JSON transcripts and metadata.

Find the buyer and close
We take de-identified samples to vetted buyers under NDA and negotiate. You approve the buyer and the price before anything is sold.
Illustrative. Real buyers and prices are agreed with you.
Collect and pay you
We collect the license fee and you keep 70%. Because licenses are non-exclusive, the same archive can sell again.

Vetted buyers, under NDA.
Buyers see de-identified samples only. You approve each one.
AI labs and speech companies
Teams training speech-to-text, voice agents, and emotion and intent models.
Data marketplaces and resellers
Companies that assemble training datasets from many sources.
Conversational AI startups
Builders who need real calls in a specific vertical.
Any team with a large call archive.
We start with US companies in any vertical. Pay-per-call networks and buyers are a natural fit, because they hold some of the largest archives.
You must own or control the recordings.
You keep 70% of every license.
We take 30% only when a license is paid. Nothing upfront, and non-exclusive by default.
An example archive
An example price, inside the typical range
License value
Example only, not a quote.
What could your calls be worth?
Enter your hours and try a price per hour. Existing archives typically sell for $5 to $25 per hour. The wider market runs from $3 to $100.
Estimate only, not an offer. Final price is set by the buyer after reviewing de-identified samples.
We do the work, not just the listing.
Many data marketplaces list your data or take a cut, and you still do the cleanup. We start from the other end.
What we watch for, and how.
State consent laws
Rules differ by state, and two-party consent states such as California need extra care. We check before we sell.
De-identification quality
One missed detail costs trust. Every set goes through quality control before a buyer sees a sample.
You stay in control
You approve each buyer and each price. Nothing is sold without your yes.
Prices can move
Buyer demand shifts. That is why we show ranges, and why the buyer sets the final price.

New calls, as they come in.
Once your archive is moving, we can also sell the calls you record from here on, so the work does not stop at the backlog.
Questions people ask first.
Is the usual "this call may be recorded" notice enough?
Honestly, not always. That notice covers recording. It does not always cover licensing calls for AI training. We check what each call said and which laws apply. Often we start with de-identified transcripts, which carry less risk, and only go further when the rights are clear.
Do you need raw files?
Not at the start. We begin with a conversation and a sample. Later, to produce buyer-ready files, we need access to the recordings or the transcripts you already have.
Who sees my calls?
Only vetted buyers, under NDA, and only de-identified samples. You approve every buyer before anything is shared.
When do I get paid?
When a buyer pays the license fee. You keep 70% of it, and we take 30% only from that payment. If nothing sells, you owe us nothing.
Is it exclusive?
No. Licenses are non-exclusive by default, so the same archive can be licensed to more than one buyer and can earn more than once.
What does it cost to start?
Nothing. There is no setup fee and no retainer. We are paid only when a license is paid.
Which countries do you work in?
US sellers first.
What do I have to do?
Give us access and approve deals. We handle the rest.
Tell us what you have.
Ten minutes. No upload. We reply with a rough read on what your archive could be worth.
