Photo Collector South India Document Collection

Project overview

AMSYNK is accepting applications for a South India document-photo collection project. The current collection guide covers Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam batches. Photos must be immediately reviewable: the full document must be visible, correctly framed and readable without guessing.

Current South India pilot scope

The project guide defines a 1,000-page pilot across four language batches: 250 pages each for Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. Each language pilot is split across five document categories, with 50 pages per category.

• Handwritten notes
• Charts & figures
• Tables
• Posters & pamphlets
• Invoices, contracts & business documents
  
  

Language & category rules

• Collect only the language batch assigned to you: Telugu, Tamil, Kannada or Malayalam.
• The assigned regional script must be clearly visible in the page content.
• Do not mix files from different language batches or document categories.
• Do not submit English-only pages against a regional-language quota unless AMSYNK has explicitly approved them.
  
  

What an accepted photo looks like

• All four document corners and all important content are inside the frame.
• Text, numbers, signatures, tables and figures are sharp enough to read.
• The page is straight or near-flat without strong perspective distortion.
• Lighting is even, with no glare, heavy shadow or dark noise over content.
• Hands, fingers, clips, folds or other objects do not cover important content.
• The file belongs to the correct assigned language and document category.
  
  

Immediate rejection conditions

• Blurred or out-of-focus text.
• Any cropped edge, corner, row, column, header or footer.
• Glare, reflection, shadow or another obstruction over content.
• Severe skew, side-angle capture or wrong orientation.
• Low-light, noisy, overexposed or washed-out images.
• Duplicate images, wrong language batch, wrong category or unrelated pages.
• Content that is too small to read without guessing or excessive zoom.
  
  

Capture workflow

• Clean the phone or camera lens.
• Place the page flat where possible.
• Use even lighting.
• Capture from above and keep the full page visible.
• Check readability, including the smallest important text.
• Review the image and retake it before upload if any QC point fails.
  
  

Do not rely on heavy filters, AI enhancement, aggressive sharpening, cropping or editing to rescue a bad capture. A clean retake is the preferred correction.

Before upload: 10-second self-check

• Zoom once and confirm the smallest important text is readable.
• Check all four corners and confirm the complete page is visible.
• Check for glare, shadow or dark areas over text.
• Check the angle and confirm the page is straight and easy to review.
• Confirm the correct language batch and document category.
• If any answer is no, retake the photo before upload.
  
  

Worker rule: do not upload a photo you would personally reject.

Who should apply

• You can support at least one of the assigned language batches: Telugu, Tamil, Kannada or Malayalam.
• You have a smartphone or camera suitable for clear document photography.
• You can follow language, category, framing and readability instructions consistently.
• You are willing to self-check every photo and retake failed captures before upload.
