DATA COLLECTION & ANNOTATION

Training data you can trust

We design consent-aware pipelines to source, label, and audit text, speech, image, document and video datasets—gold sets, IAA, and multi-pass QC make labels consistent and audit-ready.

One-line elevator

From prompt banks to people-image sets and OCR corpora — we deliver labeled datasets and evaluation suites that plug straight into model training and testing.

Why teams pick Saytica

Consent-first sourcing: plain-language consent artifacts tied to file IDs.
Balanced coverage: live dashboards that monitor demographic and region quotas.
Quality at scale: perceptual dedupe + automated checks + human gold-set audits.
Traceability: data cards, changelogs, and reproducible QC reports for audit and reuse.
Flexible ops: we run in-tenant or on our secure stack and route work to vetted vendors worldwide.

What we collect

Modalities

Text (prompts, chats, intents, labels)
Speech (read & spontaneous, multi-speaker)
Images (people, objects, scenes)
Documents (OCR, forms, receipts)
Video (segments, actions, events)

Deliverable types

Labeled datasets (JSON/CSV/TSV/Parquet)
Annotated images (COCO, YOLO, Pascal VOC)
OCR outputs (PAGE/ALTO/hOCR)
Transcripts & diarization (RTTM, ELAN, TextGrid)
Evaluation sets & scorecards (XSTS-style)

Tasks we support

Comprehensive annotation and labeling capabilities

Transcription & segmentation • Speaker diarization & role labeling • Intent & slot tagging, NER, sentiment • OCR box/line/word markup, table structure extraction • Key-value extraction, form parsing • Bounding boxes / segmentation / keypoints / pose • Safety & policy labeling, red-teaming prompts • Pairwise ranking, preference annotations, ranking datasets • Multilingual evaluation sets & adversarial (red-team) suites

Our Process

A proven 5-step methodology for exceptional results

01

Scope & Data Card

Purpose, acceptance criteria, risks, demographics, retention.

02

Guides & Kits

1-page contributor guide + 2-page annotator guide + consent kit.

03

Source & Recruit

Route tasks to our global vendors or client-provided pools; portal upload with auto checks.

04

Label & QA

Multi-pass annotation, overlap for IAA, gold-set audits and spot checks.

05

Analytics & Drift

Live dashboards for quotas, error rates, and dataset bias detection.

06

Ship & Govern

Deliver data, schema, QC report, data card, and changelog with audit artifacts.

Quality & governance

Gold sets & audits

Configurable sample %; automated scoring and human review for consistent quality control.

IAA

Cohen's κ, Krippendorff's α on overlapping batches to measure inter-annotator agreement.

Error taxonomy

Structured error classes (span, label, omission, policy) for systematic quality tracking.

Rework rules

Automatic vendor feedback with visual fixes and re-submission queue for continuous improvement.

Governance docs

Data cards, sample manifests, consent records, and changelogs delivered with every dataset.

Consent, Privacy & Ethics

Responsible data collection and handling

Plain-language consent templates, signed artifacts stored with each file ID. • PII minimization & redaction processes with policy codes. • Age gating & guardian flow where required. • Revocation process and time-boxed retention per contract. • Secure ops: TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest, role-based access, audit logs. • In-tenant option: we can run collection and labeling inside your cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure) on request.

Case Study (published with permission)

Project:

People-image dataset for model training

What we did:

Sourced 300+ consented personal-image sets covering six demographic groups using our global vendor network; ran dedupe, gold-set audits and IAA checks.

Outcome:

Delivered audit-ready dataset 63% cheaper and 70% faster than client in-house plans.

Services used:

Sourcing, Consent Kit, Labeling (bounding boxes & attributes), QC & Governance.

Pricing & turnaround

  • Pilot: fixed-scope sample (recommended) to calibrate guides and quality metrics
  • Pricing models: per-unit (image/utterance/minute), per-hour, or fixed SOW for large projects
  • Discounts: volume tiers, retained monthly programs, pilot-to-scale rates
  • Turnaround: pilots in days; scale timelines depend on volume and complexity — we'll propose a schedule after sample review

Security & compliance
