About AI Training and Audio Data Work
AI systems learn from examples prepared and reviewed by people. Audio contributors help models understand spoken language by transcribing recordings, identifying words, evaluating sound quality, and recognizing differences in pronunciation.
This work offers an opportunity to participate in a fast-growing technology field while using careful listening and language skills. Many AI-training projects are flexible and can fit around other work, studies, or personal commitments.
- Contribute to the development of speech-enabled AI
- Work with spoken English audio recordings
- Apply human judgment to improve training data quality
The Role
OpenTrain AI is seeking detail-oriented native English speakers from the United States or Canada for an English audio transcription project. You will analyze spoken audio clips, identify target words, and transcribe speech accurately according to project instructions.
You will also assess audio quality, recognize variations in pronunciation, and ensure that speech is labeled precisely. This is an entry-level contractor role, although prior experience in audio transcription, linguistic annotation, or data labeling is preferred.
