iPhone Handwritten Photo Collection

I am running a paid data-collection project that gathers Live Photos of authentic handwritten text from day-to-day surroundings. I can personally read Kannada, English and Odia and I’m already capturing samples in these languages with an iPhone X, yet the scope is much larger, so I’m expanding the team.

What I need
You’ll take rear-camera Live Photos (minimum 7.9 MP) on an approved iPhone or iPad running iOS/iPadOS 16 +. The text must be genuinely handwritten and come from real-world objects such as notes, signboards, labels or classroom material. Each image goes through a quality check; every one that passes earns you ₹30, paid 20 days after approval.

Who can join
• Anyone 18 + living in India
• Able to read at least one of these target languages: Bangla, Gujarati, Odia, Punjabi, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil or Urdu

Deliverables
– Clear Live Photos that meet the resolution and guideline requirements
– A signed consent form for every participant

How to get started
Message me with:
1. The language(s) you can comfortably read (for example, Kannada, English, Odia)
2. Your iPhone or iPad model (e.g., iPhone X or newer)
3. The number of additional contributors you can onboard, if you’re applying as a team

I’ll reply with the full guidelines, consent form links and the upload portal. Once your sample batch is approved, you can continue submitting images in sets at your own pace. Clean colours, steady framing and good lighting will help speed up approvals.

Let’s build a rich, multilingual dataset together—looking forward to having you on the project!
