About Kaya
Kaya is the data annotator community of Chemin, the AI data company of TDCX Group. It started at SUPA, formerly Supahands, a Kuala Lumpur data labeling company founded in 2014. TDCX bought SUPA in June 2025 and merged it into Chemin. Kaya posts short, paid projects: audio transcription, voice and video recording, image and floor plan annotation, and translation review. Most projects are for one language or one country, for example Malay, Cantonese, or Korean and Chinese, and last from a few days to about 2 months. Pay is per accepted task or per accepted hour, and every post shows the rate.

How hiring works
- Apply to a project on Chemin's Workable job board, or join the Kaya community on kayatasks.com. Many posts send you to a Google Form or a pre-assessment.
- Pass the assessment. For the community, Kaya lists 5 steps: apply, assessment, intro meeting, interviews, and offer.
- Join the mandatory online training in Malaysian office hours (GMT+8). Project managers talk with contributors on Discord.
- Link a verified PayPal account, then finish your tasks by the project deadline. Some projects ask for 4 to 8 hours a day and about 95% accuracy.
What workers say
Good
- Every post shows the pay, for example USD 7 per accepted hour of video in Singapore, and USD 2 to 3 an hour for Cantonese medical transcription.
- Some projects are small and use only your phone: one Malay project pays USD 8 for up to 500 short voice clips, about 3 hours of work.
- On Glassdoor, 83% of SUPA reviewers recommend the company. Reviewers and Kaya members praise the supportive project managers and community.
Watch out for
- Many rates are low. Cantonese transcription pays USD 0.10 per accepted task of 3 to 5 minutes, about USD 1.20 to 2 an hour. LATAM floor plans pay USD 0.33 to 0.49 per plan, and each plan takes 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Rejected tasks and rejected footage are not paid. One video project asked contributors to buy a headset, with no confirmed refund.
- Kaya and Chemin have no Trustpilot page, and we found no Reddit threads. The Glassdoor rating is for SUPA before the merger, and an annotator review there cites low pay, hard assessments, and projects that come and go.

How does Kaya pay workers?
Kaya's help center says it pays only to a verified PayPal account, which you link during onboarding. It pays the previous month's earnings within about 3 working days of the new month, with no minimum amount. PayPal can charge you a fee to receive the money. You get paid only for accepted work: pending and rejected tasks earn nothing, and a review can take up to 30 days. Recent posts say people outside Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines can use only PayPal, so you cannot join from a country where PayPal cannot receive payments. The help center dates from the Supahands years, so confirm the method and schedule for your project.

Chemin's staff roles, such as project associates, are separate jobs and are not Kaya projects.
What is an AI trainer job?
AI trainers help companies improve AI models. You review and rate model answers, write example answers, find mistakes, or record voice and video data. Experts in law, medicine, coding, languages, and other fields teach models how a professional thinks. Most of this work is remote, flexible, and paid by the hour.
Are AI trainer jobs remote?
Yes. Every job on this site is remote, and most have flexible hours. Some jobs accept people from certain countries only, so check the 🌍 location on each job before you apply.
What skills or degrees do I need?
It depends on the job. Generalist jobs need clear writing and attention to detail. Expert jobs usually ask for a degree or work experience in the field, such as a law license or medical training. Language jobs need native or fluent skill in that language. Coding jobs need real programming experience.
