Data Collection Services

Gather high-quality data for your unique model training / evaluation needs

Data Collection Services

DataForce provides data collection services in support of a variety of technologies such as automatic speech recognition (ASR), text-to-speech (TTS), natural language processing (NLP), and computer vision, leveraging our global community of over one million contributors as well as our extensive network of studios and offices around the world.

Quality data is pivotal for machine learning models to work properly and without bias. Data is the raw resource that enables AI use cases to succeed. Simply put, AI does not work without data. There are two main ways in which bias can show up in training data:

The data is unrepresentative of reality
The data reflects existing prejudices

To help prevent this bias in data, we gather the necessary contributors to match your AI project’s requirements. Our contributors then collect the large volumes of data required for your specific needs.

Tailored Solutions for your Unique Model Training/Evaluation Needs.

DataForce supports data collection in a number of ways:

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We're here to help. Here are some of our most common queries.

Answer: We collect high-volume, high-quality datasets across four primary modalities: • Voice/Speech: Scripted or conversational speech, wake-words, and multi-speaker dialogues. • Text: Custom prompts, multi-turn conversations, creative writing, and localized domain-specific text. • Image: Custom photography, varied environments, facial expressions, and document scanning. • Video: Human gestures, object interactions, and complex multi-environment scene captures.

Answer: We leverage our global community of over 1 million registered contributors spanning 200+ countries and thousands of demographic profiles (age, gender, ethnicity, accents, and backgrounds). This vast footprint allows us to build highly diverse, representative datasets that prevent algorithmic bias and ensure your model performs reliably across global user bases.

Answer: Yes. For highly technical fields like healthcare, legal, finance, or coding, we bypass the general crowd and source data from verified subject matter experts (SMEs) within our network. Whether you need medical dictations, legal briefs, or functional code snippets, we ensure the collected data is technically accurate and domain-compliant.

Answer: We offer flexible collection environments depending on your model’s needs. We can deploy our global crowd to collect real-world, in-the-wild data using everyday consumer devices (smartphones, webcams, IoT devices). For pristine, studio-quality data—such as text-to-speech (TTS) training—we utilize TransPerfect’s extensive global network of professional recording studios and secure offices.

Answer: Privacy and compliance are built into our collection workflows. All DataForce contributors explicitly opt-in and sign comprehensive data-use agreements before participating. Furthermore, we comply fully with GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA regulations, utilizing automated tools to scrub personally identifiable information (PII) before delivering the final dataset to you.
