Question 1

Does Corpshore provide AI training data in Somali?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Corpshore delivers annotation, speech, and RLHF data in Somali with native, in-region annotators across 3 dialects: Northern Somali, Benaadir, Digil-Mirifle. The data is dialect-deep and built by speakers who live in the language, not an English-first overlay.

Question 2

Which Somali dialects do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Corpshore covers Northern Somali, Benaadir, Digil-Mirifle, with native speakers based in-region, primarily from the Nairobi hub. Dialect coverage is defined per project so the data matches the specific Somali-speaking markets you serve.

Question 3

How many Somali annotators does Corpshore have?

Accepted Answer

130+ native Somali annotators. Native Somali for speech and annotation. As a Afroasiatic (Cushitic) language, Somali is handled by people fluent in its structure and everyday usage rather than second-language reviewers.

Question 4

Where are your Somali annotators based?

Accepted Answer

Somali annotators are based in-region across Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, working primarily from the Nairobi hub. Because they live in the communities whose language they work in, the data reflects real usage, current vocabulary, and natural code-switching.

Question 5

What types of Somali data can Corpshore deliver?

Accepted Answer

Corpshore produces Somali annotation, including text labeling, classification, and NER, speech and audio datasets for TTS and ASR, and RLHF and evaluation data. Each type is delivered by native speakers and passes the three-tier QA cascade before handoff.

Question 6

How does Corpshore ensure quality for Somali data?

Accepted Answer

Every unit of Somali work passes the three-tier QA cascade: annotator plus peer review, an expert QA-lead audit, and programmatic consensus and gold-set checks, producing 97%+ accuracy. Native reviewers judge the language, so dialect and cultural nuance are checked rather than averaged away.

Question 7

Can Corpshore scale Somali data collection?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With 130+ native Somali annotators and dedicated pods rather than per-task marketplace bidding, Corpshore can hold a steady cadence and a consistent taxonomy as volume grows. Somali is one of 35+ languages Corpshore covers with native, in-region talent.

Question 8

How do I start a Somali data project?

Accepted Answer

Share your modality, volume, target Somali dialects, and turnaround, and Corpshore returns an indicative team size, timeline, and cost band, then stands up a dedicated pod. You can start a pilot to validate quality on a real sample before committing to full volume.
