The role, as Alignerr describes it
Japanese Audio Transcription Specialist (AI Training)
About the Role
What if your ear for Japanese could directly shape how AI listens to and understands one of the world's most complex languages? We're looking for Japanese Audio Transcription Specialists to listen to real-world audio recordings and produce accurate, detailed transcriptions that train the next generation of AI speech systems.
Your work will help AI models better recognize Japanese speech — including natural conversation, varied accents, and real-world audio conditions. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just native-level Japanese listening skills and a meticulous approach to accuracy.

What You'll Do
* Listen to Japanese audio recordings spanning a wide range of topics, speakers, and styles — from casual conversation to formal speech * Produce precise, verbatim transcriptions following detailed project guidelines * Accurately capture nuances such as filler words, hesitations, speaker overlaps, and non-standard speech * Identify and label speakers, timestamps, and audio events as required * Apply proper Japanese orthography, punctuation, and formatting conventions consistently * Flag unclear or inaudible segments with appropriate annotations * Maintain high quality and consistency across large volumes of audio content * Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
* Native or near-native fluency in Japanese with excellent listening comprehension * Strong command of Japanese writing systems — kanji, hiragana, and katakana * Naturally detail-oriented with a patient, methodical approach to repetitive tasks * Able to distinguish between speakers and accurately capture natural, conversational Japanese * Comfortable working with audio playback tools and text-based interfaces * Self-motivated and reliable when working independently without supervision * No prior AI, transcription, or tech experience required
Nice to Have
* Experience in transcription, subtitling, captioning, or stenography * Familiarity with Japanese dialects and regional speech patterns (Kansai, Tohoku, Kyushu, etc.) * Background in linguistics, translation, interpretation, or Japanese language education * Experience using transcription software or audio annotation tools * Knowledge of specialized vocabulary in fields such as business, medicine, technology, or media * Proficiency in English for communication purposes
Why Join Us
