Human-labelled AI data · Southeast Asia
Native-speaker annotators in Malaysia label text, speech, images and video for AI teams building for Southeast Asia, from regional startups to global labs. Malay, Indonesian, English and Mandarin, including the mixed-language messages people actually send.
Services
Each service is run by annotators who speak the language and know the context, with written guidelines agreed with you before any labelling starts.
Labelled conversations, preference rankings, written responses and evaluation sets for chatbots and language models serving Malaysian, Indonesian and Singaporean users, including Manglish and Malay–English–Mandarin code-switching.
Mixed-language audio transcribed with language tags, speaker labels and timestamps, and new consented recordings of local accents for speech-recognition and voice teams.
Text labelled against compliance guidelines you provide or co-define with your Shariah advisers, for Islamic finance products, halal commerce and content moderation.
Categories, attributes, titles and image tags for marketplace catalogues, written in the mix of languages sellers in the region actually use.
Tropical building defects labelled for inspection, proptech and insurance models: cracks, seepage, spalling and more, with polygon masks in standard formats.
Images and first-person video from working sites and skilled trade crews, collected with written consent and labelled for safety, progress and robotics models.

Larger volumes move to a scoped pilot with a full quality report, then per-item pricing. Prices are in USD and exclude any applicable tax. Client data is deleted 30 days after delivery, and NDAs are available on request.
For global AI teams
Your models are reaching nearly 700 million people in Southeast Asia. We supply the native-speaker judgment and real-world footage that is hard to source from outside the region, as a managed team with one contract and one point of contact.
Native Malay, Indonesian and Malaysian Mandarin speakers for model evaluation, red-teaming, safety review, preference ranking and response writing, trained on your guidelines and measured on agreement.
First-person and fixed-camera video of skilled construction, waterproofing and repair work from working crews, with written consent from workers and site owners, for robotics and physical-AI teams.
Licences to consented speech, defect and site collections, and overflow annotation capacity for data vendors that need Southeast Asian languages handled by a vetted team.
All prices in USD. Contracts in English, invoiced from Malaysia. Ask for our global rate card.
