I refine Swahili language data and evaluate content for AI systems.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I'm a native Swahili speaker and languages graduate who refines spoken and written Swahili for accurate, culturally authentic AI language data.
As a freelance video reviewer, I evaluate hundreds of short-form videos for relevance, quality, authenticity, and guideline alignment, contributing precise annotations to AI recommendation and content-understanding systems.
At CCI Global and TeleSky Limited, I've handled high-volume Swahili and English customer interactions, maintaining 98%+ accuracy in call logging and documentation while working with diverse accents, speech speeds, and background noise.
I've also produced, reviewed, and edited Swahili transcripts, subtitles, and educational content as a freelance contributor and tutor. I bring knowledge of Swahili grammar, phonetics, semantics, dialects, speaker labeling, timestamping, and non-speech annotation to remote transcription work.
