FAQ
Before you apply.
Getting started
Do I need any technical experience?
No. If you can use a smartphone, you can do this. We show you how to wear the camera, how to frame your hands and the task, and what makes a recording acceptable.
What equipment do I need?
We provide the wearable camera: you receive it ready to record, with a short guide to what a good recording looks like. You also need a smartphone and an internet connection to upload recordings. Delivery, return and replacement of the camera are agreed with you during onboarding, before you record anything.
Earnings & recordings
How much can I earn?
It depends on the task, your location, and how many of your recordings pass review. Every task shows its rate before you accept it, so you always know what a recording is worth before you start.
What happens to my recordings?
Each recording is reviewed by the Telepath team against the task brief; if it is not accepted, we tell you why. Accepted recordings become training data for robotics teams building robots that do physical work. The recording rules on this page apply to every upload: record only where the site owner has agreed, tell the people around you, and keep private spaces and personal details out of frame. If you have a question about a specific recording, ask the team — applications and questions are handled by people, not an algorithm.
Joining the programme
Where is the programme available?
We are based in Dubai and collect across the Middle East and the CIS, including the United Arab Emirates, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Apply from wherever you work, and we will tell you whether your area is open.
Can I bring my team or staff?
Yes. If you run a shift, a kitchen, a shop, or a small business, you can bring several people into the programme and coordinate recording across your workplace.
