Crowd Network

Powered by a Global Contributor Network

We work with a distributed network of vetted contributors who collect real-world data — speech, images, video and text — on their own devices, in their own languages and environments. Every submission moves through automated checks and human review before it becomes part of a dataset.

  • Screened and trained per project
  • Native speakers across regions

Data Types

Data That Teaches AI How the Real World Works

Every dataset starts with people recording, photographing, writing and judging in real conditions. These are the data types we collect, annotate and validate.

Visuals are illustrative samples

Voice & Speech

01

Native-language speech collected from diverse speakers for speech recognition, conversational AI, and voice assistants.

Real-world example
Read prompts and spontaneous conversation in Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil and other languages, recorded in homes, streets and vehicles.
Collection method
Scripted and guided recording on contributors' phones; studio sessions where acoustic control matters.
AI use case
Speech recognition (ASR), text-to-speech voices, wake words and voice assistants.

Images

02

Photos of real objects, places and scenes, captured in varied lighting, angles and environments, then labelled.

Real-world example
Street scenes, retail shelves, household items and food photographed across different cities.
Collection method
Guided capture tasks with framing and quality checklists, followed by box, polygon or class labels.
AI use case
Object detection, visual search and product recognition.

Video

03

Short clips of everyday activities and interactions, recorded to a script and segmented by action.

Real-world example
First-person clips of cooking, shopping or commuting; gesture and hand-object interaction recordings.
Collection method
Phone or head-mounted camera recordings with timestamped action segments added in review.
AI use case
Action recognition, video understanding and embodied AI.

Text

04

Human-written and human-annotated text that reflects how people actually type, ask and talk.

Real-world example
Natural user queries, chat dialogues, reviews and code-mixed or transliterated Indic text.
Collection method
Prompted writing and paraphrasing by native speakers, plus intent and entity annotation.
AI use case
LLM fine-tuning, intent classification, entity extraction and translation.

Human Preference

05

Side-by-side judgements of model outputs by trained reviewers, each with a written reason.

Real-world example
Choosing the better of two chatbot answers for accuracy, helpfulness and safety.
Collection method
Pairwise ranking and rubric scoring, with overlapping reviewers to measure agreement.
AI use case
RLHF reward models, model evaluation and red-teaming.

Geospatial Data

06

Location-tagged observations collected on the ground by contributors who are physically there.

Real-world example
Storefront and signage photos, points of interest and road conditions, each with GPS coordinates.
Collection method
Field tasks with GPS check-in, route walks and geo-tagged photo capture.
AI use case
Map and POI enrichment, local search, delivery and mobility models.

OCR & Document Data

07

Real-world documents and handwriting, captured under varied conditions and transcribed field by field.

Real-world example
Receipts, invoices, printed forms and handwritten notes in Latin and Indic scripts.
Collection method
Phone capture at different angles and lighting, then box-level transcription and key-value tagging.
AI use case
OCR, document understanding and form or invoice extraction.

Multimodal Data

08

Paired data where speech, images, video and text describe the same moment and are aligned in time.

Real-world example
A cooking video with narration, transcript and action labels; a photo with a spoken description.
Collection method
Paired capture tasks with time-synced annotation across each modality.
AI use case
Vision-language models, multimodal assistants and video Q&A.
Crowd Collection Workflow

Distributed Collection. Centralized Quality Control.

Contributors in many cities work at the same time on their own devices. Every submission then passes the same review and validation gates, so the dataset you receive is consistent no matter who recorded it.

Quality Control

Quality Is Built Into Every Dataset

Quality isn't a final inspection. It is checked at seven points, from who we let in to what we ship, so large datasets stay consistent and reliable.

  1. 01

    Contributor Screening

    Language, device and skill tests before anyone joins a project.

  2. 02

    Task Instructions

    Clear guidelines, examples and edge cases for every task type.

  3. 03

    Automated Checks

    Format, duration, noise, blur and duplicate checks on upload.

  4. 04

    Human Review

    Trained reviewers inspect each sample against the spec.

  5. 05

    Multi-Level Validation

    Second-pass and expert validation on a sampled share of work.

  6. 06

    Quality Scoring

    Per-sample and per-contributor scores drive rework and routing.

  7. 07

    Final Dataset

    Only verified samples ship, with metadata and documentation.

Rework loop

A sample that fails any gate goes back to its contributor with specific feedback, and contributor scores decide who gets which tasks next.
