href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=app.dhive.calls\">Hive Calls<\/a> as possible to be accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The rules are simple: <strong>two real people need to have a real conversation that can be clearly understood<\/strong>. But in practice, there are a few common mistakes that can make an otherwise long call unusable for an AI dataset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This guide explains what makes a Hive Call eligible, what can cause a call to be rejected, and what you can do to give your conversation the best chance of being approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_Sure_Two_Real_People_Are_Actually_on_the_Call\"><\/span>Make Sure Two Real People Are Actually on the Call<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This sounds obvious, but it is one of the most important requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A qualifying Hive Call must involve <strong>two different people speaking to each other in real time<\/strong>. Both participants should be part of the conversation and respond naturally to what the other person is saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">One person using two phones, switching between devices, changing their voice, or attempting to create both sides of the conversation is not considered a valid two-person dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The same applies to prerecorded material or AI-generated voices. <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=app.dhive.calls\">Hive Calls<\/a> is designed to collect real human interaction, so the conversation needs to happen live between the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best practice:<\/strong> call someone you would normally have a conversation with and simply talk to each other as you usually would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Have_a_Real_Two-Way_Conversation\"><\/span>Have a Real Two-Way Conversation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A long call does not automatically mean a useful call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Both participants should actively contribute. One person speaking for most of the call while the other only occasionally says \u201cyes\u201d or \u201cokay\u201d may provide very little useful conversational interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You do not need to divide speaking time exactly 50\/50. Real conversations are not that structured. One person may tell a longer story while the other asks questions, reacts, comments, and then takes the conversation in another direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">What matters is that there is a genuine <strong>back-and-forth exchange<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A useful dialogue contains responses that are connected to what the other person just said. Ask follow-up questions, share your own experiences, disagree, explain something, tell a story, or naturally move from one subject to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Do not try to make the conversation sound like a recording task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Just talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_the_Conversation_Meaningful\"><\/span>Keep the Conversation Meaningful<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You can talk about almost anything on <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=app.dhive.calls\">Hive Calls<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Daily life, travel, movies, relationships, hobbies, technology, work, food, sports, plans for the weekend, places you have visited, things you have recently learned, or stories from your life can all create useful conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">What matters is that the dialogue has meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Repeating random words, reading unrelated sentences, continuously repeating the same question and answer, or trying to fill time without actually communicating may cause the call to be marked as not eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A simple way to think about it is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Would two people realistically have this conversation outside Hive Calls?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If the answer is yes, you are on the right track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_Note_Please_Avoid_Conversations_About_DataHive_Hive_Calls_and_Earning_Points\"><\/span>Important Note: Please Avoid Conversations About DataHive, Hive Calls, and Earning Points<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>First, we want to say thank you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">We genuinely appreciate how interested many of you are in DataHive, Hive Calls, our missions, points, and how the platform works. We have seen many users spend their calls discussing the app, asking each other how to earn points, explaining missions, or talking about DataHive itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">However, these conversations are not particularly useful for the AI companies that use conversational datasets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The goal of Hive Calls is to capture <strong>natural conversations about the wider world<\/strong>, not conversations created specifically around the platform collecting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Because of this, <strong>from now on, calls focused primarily on DataHive, Hive Calls, points, rewards, how to earn points, mission mechanics, or how to use the app will be marked as not eligible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You can still learn about the app through our guides, FAQ, and <strong>Welcome Hive Call<\/strong>, where you can speak with AI and ask questions about how Hive Calls works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">For calls with other users, please choose another topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Talk about something you would normally discuss with a friend, colleague, or family member. Those conversations are much more valuable for building real-world conversational AI datasets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Can_Speak_Any_Language\"><\/span>You Can Speak Any Language<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hive Calls is not limited to English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You can speak in <strong>any language that both participants can naturally communicate in<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You do not need to switch to English just because you think it will make the call more likely to qualify. In fact, speaking in the language you normally use with the other participant can make the conversation more natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The important part is not which language you choose. It is whether the dialogue is real, understandable, and meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Audio_Quality_Still_Matters\"><\/span>Audio Quality Still Matters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=app.dhive.calls\">Hive Calls<\/a> is designed for real-world conversations, so you do <strong>not<\/strong> need studio-quality audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">However, both voices still need to be understandable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Our processing systems, including automatic speech recognition, need to be able to distinguish the words being spoken. If the recording contains extremely loud music, traffic, wind, television, other people speaking nearby, heavy distortion, or very unclear speech, parts of the conversation may become unusable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Try to avoid environments where you have to shout to hear each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You should also make sure your microphone is not covered, your connection is stable enough for conversation, and the phone is positioned normally while you speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Some background sound is completely natural. The problem begins when the background becomes louder or clearer than the conversation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Leave_the_Call_Running_Just_to_Increase_the_Duration\"><\/span>Don&#8217;t Leave the Call Running Just to Increase the Duration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Only genuine conversation is useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Long periods of silence, phones left connected while nobody is speaking, or deliberately stretching the call without meaningful interaction do not make the recording more valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is not simply to generate more minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is to capture <strong>real conversational minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If your conversation naturally ends, it is better to finish the call than to leave it running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Read_Scripts_or_Play_Prepared_Material\"><\/span>Don&#8217;t Read Scripts or Play Prepared Material<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=app.dhive.calls\">Hive Calls<\/a> is different from a scripted voice-recording mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You are not expected to prepare sentences in advance, read an article aloud, play a video, or follow a written dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The value of these calls comes from spontaneity: one participant says something, the other hears it, thinks about it, and responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Reading prepared material removes much of that interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If you are struggling to continue the conversation, ask a new question or move naturally to another subject instead of reading something to fill the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"React_to_the_Other_Person\"><\/span>React to the Other Person<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">One of the easiest ways to make a call more natural is also one of the most obvious: <strong>listen to the person you are talking to.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If they tell a story, ask about something they mentioned. If you disagree, explain why. If something is funny, react naturally. If you remember a similar experience, share it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Real conversations contain interruptions, follow-up questions, changes of direction, laughter, pauses, and spontaneous reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You do not need to manufacture any of these things. They appear naturally when two people are actually paying attention to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">That is exactly the kind of interaction <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=app.dhive.calls\">Hive Calls<\/a> is designed to capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Before_You_Start_Your_Next_Call\"><\/span>Before You Start Your Next Call<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You do not need to memorize a complicated list of rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Just remember the fundamentals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Call another real person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Both people should actively participate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Have a meaningful, natural conversation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Speak in any language you both feel comfortable using.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Choose almost any topic, but avoid conversations focused on DataHive, Hive Calls, points, rewards, or how to earn on the platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Make sure both voices are clear enough to understand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Do not use prerecorded audio, AI voices, scripts, or one person speaking from two devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">End the call when the real conversation ends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Every call goes through processing, quality, authenticity, and eligibility checks before it can be approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Following these recommendations does not mean you need to make your conversation perfect. In fact, natural speech is rarely perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">People hesitate. They interrupt. They change their minds. They laugh.
