Is DataForce Community (TransPerfect) legit?

Run by TransPerfect, a large established language and data company, with clearly published per-project pay and payment timelines. Trustpilot averages 3.6 from 144 reviews and the company answers negative reviews. Praise covers clear instructions and on-time pay. Complaints involve recordings or photos rejected and left unpaid, payment delays and a retroactive pay cut that the company disputes.

What we couldn’t confirm

Added as an extra voice/photo program. Other agents may also list DataForce (it spans labeling and filming), so check for duplicates. No photo project appeared on page 1 of current listings; the photo evidence is PetaPixel's February 2026 report and a May 2026 Trustpilot review. Age 18+ is stated per project, not as a site-wide rule.
