500 hours of long-form transcription
A model program needed 500+ hours of long-form transcription across four locales, including Maghrebi Arabic and Indian English, where dialect and length both work against accuracy.

A model program needed 500+ hours of long-form transcription across Tamil, Indian English, Maghrebi Arabic, and English, delivered through a top-100 LSP for AI training.
Long-form audio compounds error: a transcriber who drifts over a long file produces data that quietly degrades a model, and dialects like Maghrebi Arabic narrow the qualified pool.
The problem to solve
Long-form transcription fails when transcribers tire over length, when dialect handling is inconsistent, or when QA samples too little of each file.
The program needed accuracy held across long files and four locales, including a hard Arabic dialect.
How AI data services was delivered
MoniSa assigned dialect-matched transcribers per locale and ran QA across each long file, full-file review instead of spot samples, to hold accuracy over length.
Dialect-matched source
Maghrebi Arabic and Indian English were handled by transcribers native to those varieties.
Full-file QA
QA covered each long file end to end, not a short sample, so accuracy did not drift over length.
Locale consistency
Each locale held to its own conventions across the 500+ hours.
What was delivered on this engagement?
The program received 500+ hours of long-form transcription across four locales under project-scoped review, with accuracy held over long files and dialect-specific varieties.

What supported the result
Why this team fit the assignment
Long-form transcription needs dialect-matched source and full-file QA, not a generic pool sampling short clips.
What decided the result
Holding accuracy over length and across a hard Arabic dialect mattered more than raw hours.
What buyers can reuse
- Long-form audio compounds transcriber drift, so QA has to cover the whole file, not a sample.
- Hard dialects like Maghrebi Arabic need native transcribers, not a generic Arabic pool.
- The evidence keeps the client and partner details confidential and attributes the metrics only to this engagement.

AI data servicesThree annotation task types each held to standard in six weeks, client details confidential.
Multi-type annotation
The challenge. An AI company needed 967 hours of object detection, sentiment, and NER annotation in six weeks.
What we did. MoniSa ran each task type with its own guidelines and task-specific review.
The result. The company received 967 hours across three task types under project-scoped review.
