Human Archive turns everyday tasks into training data and pays you for approved contributions. Record yourself doing things like loading the dishwasher, folding laundry, or making coffee from your own point of view, or take part in short, guided voice conversations that help build speech datasets. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a task. Browse open tasks, each with a clear brief: what to capture, roughly how long it takes, and the payout. • Video tasks are hands-free. Prop your phone in landscape with the rear camera facing where your hands work, then tap any volume button twice to start and twice more to stop, no need to touch or look at the screen. • Voice tasks are also an option. Pass a quick language check, get matched with another contributor, and have a short guided conversation. • Review and submit. Play back your video clips, re-record anything you don't like, then submit the ones you're proud of. YOUR DATA, YOUR CALL • Your video clips contain video and motion data only, no audio is recorded into them. Nothing leaves your phone until you tap Submit, and you can re-record or delete drafts freely, as we never see them. • Voice tasks (Voice Exchange) are a separate, optional feature that does record and share your voice, which is biometric data, to build speech datasets. You give a separate, explicit consent before any voice task, and voice tasks are governed by our Voice Contributor Rules and Privacy Policy. • A quality check runs on your device before a video uploads, so a weak clip never wastes an upload. • You keep authorship of what you contribute, and you can delete your account and its data at any time. BUILT FOR CAPTURE • Stereo recording on supported iPhones. Wide and ultra-wide lenses capture every video clip with depth. • Framing guidance and a readiness check before every session. • Reliable uploads with per-clip progress. TRACK EVERYTHING • Follow each submission from in review to approved, with reviewer notes when something needs a tweak. • Get a push notification the moment your work is reviewed. • Every task shows its payout up front; earnings accrue as your contributions are approved, and you can cash out to your chosen payout method. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 17 or later. Video recording uses the rear cameras in landscape. • Some video tasks need a device that can record two rear lenses at once (stereo); the app detects your device automatically. • Voice tasks require microphone access and are for contributors 18 and older. • A free contributor account; sign-up takes about a minute.
