You can contact our technical support team by email at service@taojsh.com. We typically respond within 1-2 business days. You can also check the Tutorials page for detailed guides and tips.

Question 14

Does TjMakeBot support team review and delivery handoff?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TjMakeBot supports shared projects, review queues, issue handling, dataset-version freeze, release delivery, customer share pages, and audit-oriented handoff flows for collaborative production teams.

Question 15

Can teams manage dataset versions and training lineage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Approved output can be frozen into dataset versions and connected to release and training flows, so teams can explain version lineage, delivery scope, and model source more clearly than with ad-hoc exports alone.

Question 16

How do I choose Team Review Cloud vs Enterprise?

Accepted Answer

Choose Team Review Cloud when you need hosted multi-person review, delivery routing, and audit-ready collaboration. Choose Enterprise when enterprise deployment, SSO, procurement, contract review, or deeper integration boundaries become hard requirements.

Question 17

What if we need API, webhook, or system integration?

Accepted Answer

Use the enterprise inquiry path to confirm current API, webhook, callback, and external-system integration fit. This keeps integration scope, rollout timing, and procurement requirements aligned before purchase.

Question 18

Is enterprise deployment available?

Accepted Answer

Private deployment options are evaluated for enterprise teams that need security review, permission boundaries, audit support, procurement alignment, or deployment control beyond the hosted cloud path.

Question 19

Can TjMakeBot support SSO and audit-oriented controls?

Accepted Answer

Enterprise evaluation is the right path when teams need SSO, tenant boundaries, access governance, audit expectations, or other security requirements tied to rollout and procurement.

Question 20

What types of annotations does TjMakeBot support?

Accepted Answer

TjMakeBot supports multiple annotation types including bounding boxes (rectangles), polygons, oriented bounding boxes (OBB) for rotated objects, and keypoint annotations for pose estimation. You can switch between annotation types using the toolbar.

Question 21

What use cases is TjMakeBot suitable for?

Accepted Answer

TjMakeBot is ideal for autonomous driving dataset creation, industrial defect detection, medical image annotation, retail product recognition, security surveillance analysis, agricultural monitoring, and any computer vision research requiring labeled training data.

Question 22

What is cloud model training?

Accepted Answer

TjMakeBot provides cloud YOLO model training service. After completing data annotation, you can submit training tasks directly in the browser and use cloud GPU to train models without configuring local Python environment or purchasing GPU. Supports YOLOv5, YOLOv8, YOLOv9, YOLOv10, YOLOv11 and more.

Question 23

How is cloud training charged?

Accepted Answer

Cloud training is charged by training duration, deducted from your account balance. New users receive free training credits upon registration. The cost depends on model size, number of epochs, and dataset size. You can view estimated cost before submitting a task.

Question 24

How long does training take?

Accepted Answer

Training time depends on several factors: dataset size, model version, number of epochs, and image size. Generally, a small dataset (100-500 images) using a lightweight model (e.g., YOLOv8n) for 100 epochs typically takes 10-30 minutes. Larger datasets or complex models may take several hours.

Question 25

What is the training queue?

Accepted Answer

The training queue manages all user training tasks. When you submit a training task, it enters the queue waiting for GPU resources. You can view task status, estimated wait time, and queue position in the queue panel. Tasks are executed in submission order.

Question 26

What formats can I export after training?

Accepted Answer

After training completes, you can export the model in various formats: PyTorch (.pt) for research and continued training, ONNX for cross-platform inference, TensorRT for NVIDIA GPU acceleration, CoreML for iOS/macOS deployment, TFLite for Android deployment, OpenVINO for Intel hardware acceleration, NCNN for mobile and embedded devices.

Question 27

What if training fails?

Accepted Answer

If training fails, you can view error messages and training logs in task details. Common causes include: dataset format errors, insufficient annotation data, class imbalance, etc. After fixing the issue, click "Resubmit" to create a new training task. If the problem persists, contact technical support.

Question 28

Can I cancel an ongoing training?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel queued or training tasks anytime. Click the "Stop Training" button in the training queue or task details page. Cancelled tasks will not incur additional charges, but consumed training time will not be refunded.

Question 29

How does auto cloud storage work?

Accepted Answer

Once you start annotating, your project is automatically created and saved to the cloud every 30 seconds. All images, labels, and annotations are included. You can access your projects from any device by logging in. The system also supports offline editing — your work is saved locally and synced automatically when the connection is restored.

Question 30

How do I access my saved projects?

Accepted Answer

Click the folder icon in the toolbar to open the project list. You can view all your saved projects, open any project to continue working, rename projects by clicking the project name, or delete projects you no longer need.
