Overview

Kampala is Corpshore's Ugandan delivery hub and, with Nairobi, a center for Swahili speech and East African language data. The owned facility runs full-time teams covering English, Swahili, Luganda, and Runyankole. Uganda's very young population and English-medium education give the hub a large, language-capable base for annotation and speech capture.

Teams here focus on Swahili text-to-speech and speech-recognition datasets, general annotation, and field collection. Swahili is a widely spoken regional language with historically thin high-quality training data, so in-region native capture materially improves dataset quality over remote alternatives.

All output runs through Corpshore's three-tier QA cascade with local review, which keeps Swahili and Luganda judgments with native speakers rather than distant reviewers.

People

Talent pool

Uganda has one of the youngest median ages in the world and educates in English, which produces a large, growing pool of entry-level contributors comfortable with English instructions. Native Swahili, Luganda, and Runyankole speakers make the hub well suited to East African speech and text work.

Because Swahili spans several countries and variants, Kampala's contributors add regional breadth to Corpshore's Swahili datasets when combined with the Nairobi teams.
