For Creators

What We’re Looking For

• Natural conversations in everyday settings—cafes, homes, markets, farms.
• Video preferred (shows gestures, lip movement).
• Each conversation should be at least 10 minutes long.
• Dialects: Levantine Arabic from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, or Yemen (or other regional varieties).
• Avoid personal details (names, phone numbers) and sensitive topics (politics, religion).

Quality Guidelines

• Use the best recording device you have—smartphones are fine, just make sure the sound is clear.
• Choose a well-lit area for videos (natural light is great).
• Keep the camera steady—use a tripod or prop your phone against something stable.
• Speak naturally—talk about food, family, daily life, stories, local culture.

Compensation and Rights

We offer transparent, per-project compensation for each accepted recording. Rates depend on length, quality, and specific project needs, and we share all details with you before you start.

• Keep personal details out of recordings—no phone numbers, addresses, or ID numbers.
• Dialect Data receives permission to include approved clips in anonymized AI training datasets.
• Recordings are never used for surveillance or harmful applications.
