Dutch Speech Annotation
About OpenTrain
OpenTrain is the #1 platform for finding and building careers in AI training and data labeling. We hire and manage annotation projects that help shape how modern AI systems understand language and speech.
We run projects directly and hire contributors as contractors. This role is part of our ongoing work to improve AI-driven Dutch language systems.
About AI training work
AI training (also called data labeling or annotation) is the human work that teaches machine learning systems how to understand real-world inputs. Tasks include listening, transcribing, labeling, and judging model outputs.
These projects are 100% remote, often flexible, and accessible to people with attention to detail and language fluency — they are a straightforward way to get started in the fast-growing AI industry.
- Flexible, remote work you can do from anywhere with internet access.
- Entry-level opportunities are common: many projects provide training and detailed instructions.
The role
We're looking for Dutch speakers to perform speech annotation on short audio clips. This is an entry-level, contractor position open worldwide. The work focuses on two label types: classification and segmentation.
This is a project-based engagement paid as a fixed price of USD 400.26 for the assignment. You will be taught how to use our internal, proprietary annotation tool before you begin.
- Data type: Audio (short speech clips).
- Labeling tasks: Classification and segmentation.
- Labeling software: Internal proprietary tooling.
- Employment type: Contractor; worldwide applicants welcome.
What you'll do
Follow detailed instructions to listen to audio clips, identify specified speech elements, and apply labels consistently. Create time-based segments where required and choose classification labels per the project guide.
- Listen to short Dutch audio clips and mark boundaries for speech segments.
- Assign classification labels to utterances (speaker type, intent, or other categories as specified).
- Follow annotation guidelines and quality checks to ensure consistency.
- Complete training on our internal annotation tool before starting active annotation.
Requirements
You do not need prior annotation experience; this project is entry-level and includes training on the internal tool. Candidates must be fluent in Dutch and able to follow written instructions carefully.
- Fluency in Dutch (native or near-native) is required.
- Attention to detail and the ability to follow annotation guidelines.
- Reliable internet connection and a computer or phone capable of running browser-based tools; headphones recommended.
- Able to work as an independent contractor (remote, project-based).
