How it works
One accountable partner, one managed workflow.
You work with MenaData directly — never with individual contributors. We design the project, run it, check it, and deliver it.
-
01
Tell us what your model needs
Define dialects, demographics, recording conditions, hours, annotation requirements, and acceptance criteria. If you’re not sure, we help you specify it.
-
02
We design the project
MenaData writes the collection methodology, speaker requirements, annotation guidelines, QA rules, and delivery specification — and you approve them.
-
03
We collect and annotate
Verified Arabic speakers and trained annotators complete the work inside MenaData’s managed workflow, matched to the project’s dialect and profile.
-
04
Multi-stage quality assurance
Audio, transcripts, dialects, metadata, and project requirements are checked, and a separate reviewer approves each item or sends it back.
-
05
Receive AI-ready data
Structured data and documentation in the agreed format, with the consent and usage records behind it.
-
06
Scale
After the pilot succeeds, expand across more speakers, dialects, environments, or regions — under the same specification.
Start with a pilot
Prove it on a small sample first.
Every engagement can start with a focused, paid pilot — a representative slice of the full dataset — so you can validate quality against your own model before scaling.
- Define requirements
- Collect a sample
- Validate quality
- Approve
- Scale
What you can expect
Clear ownership at every step.
- A single point of contact for scope, progress, and delivery
- Written specifications agreed before any recording starts
- Acceptance criteria that decide what gets delivered
- Progress visibility throughout collection and review
