How it works

From untapped talent to trusted professional

01

Register & Test

African language speakers sign up and take a structured proficiency assessment. The test validates fluency, comprehension, and cultural context, creating a verified talent profile.

02

Complete Tasks

Matched to micro-tasks based on skill level: audio recording, text translation, data annotation, transcription. AI pre-screens every submission for quality before human review.

03

Get Paid

Automated payouts upon task approval via Flutterwave (Africa) or Wise (international). No invoicing, no delays. Top performers earn the Certified badge and unlock premium projects.

AI-powered preliminary auditing

Every submission passes through an AI auditor before a human reviewer sees it. Low-quality work gets flagged automatically, saving your team hours of manual review.

Linguists are scored on accuracy over time. The best performers are promoted to higher-tier projects with better pay, creating a self-improving quality flywheel.
