What is Specific Marketplace?

Specific Marketplace connects contributors with paid projects that create and evaluate real-world datasets for AI. Our current marketplace focuses primarily on voice, language, and conversation data, with other specialized data projects offered when available.

What is AI voice training work?

Voice training work may involve answering a prompt naturally, recording a conversation, reading a script, or contributing a specific language or regional accent. Every task explains what to record, how the data may be used, and what consent is required before you begin.

What does the application process look like?

Create a profile with your identity, age eligibility, location, and speaking languages. Specific reviews your application and sends any required agreements by email. After approval and signature, you can access tasks that match your profile.

How much do I get paid?

Pay depends on the project, recording length, language, region, and customer requirements. The exact reward and any payout limits are shown on each task before you accept it.

How do we get paid?

Specific sends payouts for accepted work through Dots. You do not need to create or configure a Dots account in advance. We email you a payout link; open it, complete any required identity or tax verification, and choose a payment method available in your country, such as a local bank transfer or supported wallet.

What qualifications do I need?

Qualifications depend on the project. Voice tasks may require a particular language, dialect, accent, country of origin, or current location. Other projects may require professional experience. Submissions that do not match the listed requirements may be rejected.

How long do projects last?

Project length and availability depend on customer demand. Some campaigns are short and close once enough accepted data is collected; others add new tasks over time.

Can I refer friends or colleagues?

Yes—please share the marketplace with people who genuinely meet the requirements for an active task. Each contributor must create their own profile, complete the required agreements, and submit their own work.

What types of projects are available?

Most current opportunities involve voice training, regional language data, conversations, and speech quality. We may also offer transcription, coding, and other real-world data projects.
