Lend your voice to African-language AI

Afriklang is building a vetted network of native speakers and annotators who power the speech datasets behind African-language AI. Apply to join, meet the team in a short interview, and get called on for paid missions in your language.

By application

A small, vetted pool built deliberately

1

By application, not open sign-up

We grow the network one person at a time. Every applicant is reviewed by hand no anonymous crowd, no race to the bottom.

2

Vetted by interview

If your profile fits, we meet you in a short interview before you join. That's how we keep quality high and the standard clear.

3

A founding cohort

Early contributors help shape how we collect each language. Join now and you're building this with us, not joining a finished machine.

Two ways to contribute

Speak or annotate or both

Whether you want to lend your voice or sharpen the data behind the scenes, there's a place for you in the pool.

Speakers

Record natural speech in your language through guided, image-prompted sessions. No scripts to memorize just your everyday voice.

Annotators

Transcribe and label audio to our quality standard. Detail-oriented native speakers who can hear the nuance we're after.
