Question 1

Does Corpshore provide AI training data in Swahili?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Corpshore delivers annotation, speech, and RLHF data in Swahili with native, in-region annotators across 3 dialects: Coastal (Kiunguja), Standard, Congo Swahili. The data is dialect-deep and built by speakers who live in the language, not an English-first overlay.

Question 2

Which Swahili dialects do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Corpshore covers Coastal (Kiunguja), Standard, Congo Swahili, with native speakers based in-region, primarily from the Kampala hub. Dialect coverage is defined per project so the data matches the specific Swahili-speaking markets you serve.

Question 3

How many Swahili annotators does Corpshore have?

Accepted Answer

300+ native Swahili annotators. TTS/ASR datasets reduced WER from 11.2% to 4.3%. As a Bantu language, Swahili is handled by people fluent in its structure and everyday usage rather than second-language reviewers.

Question 4

Where are your Swahili annotators based?

Accepted Answer

Swahili annotators are based in-region across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, working primarily from the Kampala 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 Swahili data can Corpshore deliver?

Accepted Answer

Corpshore produces Swahili 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 Swahili data?

Accepted Answer

Every unit of Swahili 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 Swahili data collection?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With 300+ native Swahili annotators and dedicated pods rather than per-task marketplace bidding, Corpshore can hold a steady cadence and a consistent taxonomy as volume grows. Swahili is one of 35+ languages Corpshore covers with native, in-region talent.

Question 8

How do I start a Swahili data project?

Accepted Answer

Share your modality, volume, target Swahili 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.
