Arabic Text Annotation Services

Production-grade Arabic text annotation for NER, sentiment, intent, topics and LLM training. MSA plus Gulf, Levantine, Egyptian, Maghrebi and Iraqi dialects — by native speakers, with Australian-led QA. Trusted by Saudi Arabia, UAE and MENA AI teams.

Arabic Text Annotation, Done Properly

Arabic NLP fails when annotation cuts corners. Machine-translated datasets miss the morphology. Crowdsourced labels miss the dialect. Generalist annotators miss the cultural context that separates a complaint from a compliment in Khaleeji Arabic.

AI Taggers builds Arabic text annotation pipelines that ship to production. Every label comes from a native speaker of the target dialect, working under Australian-led QA with dual annotation and adjudication. Whether you are tuning an Arabic LLM, training a Saudi banking chatbot, or running pan-MENA sentiment analysis — we deliver the linguistic accuracy your model needs.

Arabic Text Annotation Types We Handle

From foundational NLP to LLM alignment — built for Arabic from the ground up.

Named Entity Recognition (NER)

Persons, organisations, locations, dates, monetary values and custom entity types. We handle Arabic-specific entity challenges like definite article (الـ) attachment, transliterated names, and Gulf-region business naming conventions.

Sentiment Analysis

Positive / negative / neutral plus fine-grained aspect-based sentiment. Trained on MENA business contexts: banking reviews, government feedback, e-commerce product opinions, social media reactions across MSA and dialects.

Intent Classification

Conversational AI intent labeling for Arabic chatbots and voice assistants. Multi-turn intent, slot filling, and out-of-scope detection. Optimised for customer support, banking, telecoms and government service bots.

Topic & Category Labeling

Multi-class and multi-label topic classification for content moderation, news categorisation, document routing, and recommendation systems. Hierarchical taxonomies supported.

Relation & Event Extraction

Entity-relation triples, event arguments, temporal expressions. Critical for Arabic knowledge graph construction and structured information extraction from documents and news.

Dialect Identification

Per-sentence dialect tagging (MSA, Gulf, Levantine, Egyptian, Maghrebi, Iraqi) for dialect-aware NLP pipelines and code-switching analysis.

Arabic NLP Use Cases We Power

Saudi Banking & Fintech NLP

Customer query classification, document understanding, fraud signal extraction, Arabic-English transaction descriptions for KSA fintech AI.

MoI, MoH, MoE, and municipal chatbot training across the GCC. Intent + slot data tuned to formal Arabic and citizen-facing language patterns.

MENA Social Listening

Brand sentiment, crisis detection, influencer identification across Twitter/X, TikTok, Snapchat, and regional platforms. Includes Arabizi normalisation.

Arabic E-commerce Search

Product attribute extraction, query intent, and review sentiment for Noon, Salla, Zid, Jumia and other regional marketplaces.

Arabic OCR Post-Processing

Validation and correction of OCR output for handwritten, historical and printed Arabic documents. Critical for legal, government and archival digitisation.

Arabic Text Annotation FAQ

Do you provide Arabic text annotation software, or only labelled data?
We deliver labelled data as a managed service. We can work in your annotation platform (Label Studio, Doccano, Prodigy, SageMaker Ground Truth) or use our internal RTL-aware tooling. You receive production-ready datasets, not software you have to operate.
What is your accuracy benchmark for Arabic NER and sentiment?
98%+ inter-annotator agreement on standard NER and sentiment. 95%+ on harder tasks like fine-grained intent or dialect classification. We measure with Cohen's kappa and report it on every delivery — no opaque quality scores.
Can you handle Arabic social media — Arabizi, code-switching, emoji?
Yes. We annotate Arabizi (3 for ع, 7 for ح), Arabic-English-French code-switching, emoji as sentiment signals, and informal dialectal usage. Common for MENA brand monitoring, customer support classification, and crisis detection.
How do you handle Arabic morphology in annotation?
Our annotators apply correct lemmatisation, handle clitics (prefixed prepositions like بـ, suffix pronouns like ـه), and tag morphological features for models that need root-aware preprocessing. We can deliver lemma + surface form pairs when needed.
Do you serve Saudi Arabia and the GCC directly?
Yes — Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman are core markets. See our Saudi Arabia data annotation page for region-specific compliance and engagement details.
