Need a huge favor from Meitei speakers! Help us teach our AI model to understand the Meitei Mayek script (Takes ~10 mins) 🙏
Hi everyone, khurumjari!
I am a Computer Science undergraduate working on digitizing low-resource languages from Northeast India to include them in the ongoing AI boom. My research partner and I are currently working on a project to help Vision-Language Models read and understand the Meitei Mayek script. Most global AI models struggle significantly when they encounter indigenous scripts, and our goal is to help bridge that gap.
Just to be clear, this is a purely academic project with absolutely no financial motives. Our only goal is to help Northeast Indian languages gain prominence in modern technology and support local advancements. If our research gets accepted, we will absolutely share the good news and the final paper with this community!
We have trained an initial model to generate Meitei text, but we urgently need native speakers to review the results and tell us if the AI's output makes sense.
A quick heads-up: the model's predictions are still a work in progress! It will likely make mistakes, and your feedback is exactly what we need to better understand those errors and improve the model.
What we need: I have a simple Google Sheet with 100 short text samples. There are no images to load; the task is strictly reading text. It should only take about 10 to 15 minutes of your time. All responses are anonymous and will be used solely for our research data.
How to help: You do not need to download or email anything. Just click the link below, read the "Instructions" tab, and then claim any empty "Volunteer" tab at the bottom to fill out your scores.

If you finish a tab, please let me know in the comments so I can thank you! We would be incredibly grateful for your time and will gladly acknowledge your contribution.
Thank you so much! Thagatchari !! 🙏
