Data Services for AI and Research

  • Japanese Participant Recruitment

    We recruit participants based on age, location, language, experience, occupation, and other project-specific criteria. Screening questions and qualification tests can be used to select suitable participants.
  • Speech and Dialogue Data Collection

    We collect Japanese speech data, including scripted reading, natural conversation, role-play dialogue, regional dialects, and task-based interactions.
  • Image, Video, Text, and Handwriting Collection

    We support the collection of photographs, videos, handwritten content, free-form text, survey responses, and other data created by participants under specified conditions.
  • Transcription and ELAN Annotation

    We provide human transcription for Japanese speech and video data, including time-aligned annotation using ELAN. Fillers, pauses, false starts, laughter, and unclear segments can be transcribed according to project requirements.
  • Human Evaluation for AI and LLMs

    Human evaluators compare and assess AI-generated text, images, audio, and other outputs. Evaluation criteria may include accuracy, clarity, naturalness, instruction compliance, relevance, safety, and overall preference.
  • Classification and Data Annotation

    We perform classification, labeling, comparison, sentiment assessment, impression evaluation, and other tasks that require human judgment.

Why Work with IngCrowd?

  • Access to Japanese Participants

    Our registered participant and worker network includes more than 160,000 people across Japan. We can recruit participants for both large-scale data collection and projects with specific eligibility requirements.
  • End-to-End Project Management

    Our project directors manage participant recruitment, instructions, training, inquiries, progress tracking, quality checks, rework, data organization, and final delivery.
  • Flexible Project Design

    You can request a single part of the process, such as participant recruitment, data collection, transcription, or evaluation. We can also design and manage the entire project from the initial pilot to final delivery.

Example Projects

  • Japanese Speech Dataset Creation

    Recruit Japanese speakers and collect scripted speech, spontaneous speech, dialogue, role-play conversations, or regional dialect recordings.
  • Japanese LLM Response Evaluation

    Compare multiple AI-generated responses and evaluate their accuracy, clarity, naturalness, relevance, and compliance with instructions.
  • Dialogue and Interaction Recording

    Collect conversations based on specific topics, roles, situations, or interaction scenarios, with mixed and individual audio tracks where required.
  • Research Participant Recruitment

    Recruit participants who meet specific demographic, linguistic, professional, or behavioral criteria for academic studies, surveys, interviews, and experiments.
  • Image and Video Collection in Japan

    Collect photographs and videos of specified objects, environments, facilities, products, signs, or real-world situations throughout Japan.
  • Transcription and Time-Aligned Annotation

    Create human-verified Japanese transcriptions and time-aligned annotations for speech, conversation, interviews, and video recordings.

Public Sample Datasets

  • IngCrowd publishes sample Japanese speech and dialogue datasets on Hugging Face.

    The datasets demonstrate our capabilities in participant recruitment, dialogue recording, individual speaker audio preparation, human transcription, and time-aligned ELAN annotation.

Support for Confidential and Complex Projects

For projects involving personal information, confidential data, complex instructions, or extended worker training, work can be conducted at our Oita BPO Center.

The center is staffed by directly employed employees and part-time personnel, allowing us to establish a controlled operational environment based on the project’s security and quality requirements.

How We Work

  • 01 | Project Requirements

    We discuss the project objectives, participant criteria, required data, volume, quality standards, schedule, security requirements, and delivery format.
  • 02 | Workflow Design and Pilot

    We design recruitment methods, task instructions, evaluation criteria, and quality-control procedures. A small pilot can be conducted before full-scale production.
  • 03 | Recruitment and Production

    We recruit and train suitable participants or workers and manage the data collection, transcription, annotation, or evaluation process.
  • 04 | Quality Control and Delivery

    Our project directors review progress and deliverables, identify incomplete or invalid data, arrange rework when necessary, and prepare the final data in the required format.

Start with a Pilot Project

You do not need to have every detail finalized before contacting us.

Tell us about your objectives, required participants or data, estimated volume, schedule, and expected deliverables. We will review the feasibility and propose an appropriate workflow.

Small pilot projects and partial-process requests are welcome.
