African language data for AI, starting with Nigeria.

Nigeria alone has hundreds of languages and some of Africa’s most spoken ones. We collect consented speech and text in Nigerian Pidgin, Yorùbá, Igbo and Hausa today, and scope other languages with you.

Why it is scarce

Low-resource is a supply problem. We fix the supply.

Models are weak in African languages because there is little clean, licensed, well-labelled data. We recruit native speakers where they live, check who they are, record consent, and review every clip.

Native speakers, verified

Every contributor is ID-checked and records in a language they speak at home.

Real domains

Markets, services, health questions, directions and family talk, not only read text.

Transcribed and checked

Verbatim transcripts by speakers of the language, reviewed before delivery.

Licensed for training

Consent covers licensing to AI companies in Nigeria and abroad.

Questions

Buyers usually ask.

Which African languages can TrustAm Data provide?

Nigerian Pidgin, Yorùbá, Igbo, Hausa and Nigerian English are being collected now. Other Nigerian languages can be scoped per order if we can recruit enough verified native speakers.

Is this an off-the-shelf dataset or custom collection?

Mostly custom collection to your spec. Our dataset library shows what we can collect to order; we do not claim stock we have not recorded.

How is consent handled?

Each speaker records a consent statement on video in their own language before their first task. We store the text, version, language and time, and ship the consent ID with every clip.
