Encord

What Encord is

Encord is a paid multimodal data infrastructure layer for AI teams, covering work from pre-training and post-training through deployment. Human-in-the-loop labeling and review support image, video, audio, text, DICOM, LiDAR, geospatial, ECG, and other data. Image tools include boxes, rotatable boxes, polylines, polygons, primitives, keypoints, bitmasks, classifications, and native SAM 2 support. Dataset curation uses metadata and attribute filters, embeddings-based search, and natural-language search. Encord also provides model evaluation, rubric-based evaluation, RLHF, and pairwise model comparison. Projects, datasets, and annotations are available through an API and SDK, with integrations for AWS S3, Azure Data Lake Storage, and Google Cloud Storage. Deployment options include US and EU locations, private VPC, and on-premises environments. The company states that data at rest uses AES-256 encryption and data in transit uses HTTPS over TLS, including TLS 1.3. It reports a completed SOC 2 examination and describes the service as HIPAA and GDPR compliant. Pricing is on request and there is no free plan.
