Chinese Audio Transcript Editor (AI Training)
About the Role
What if your precision with Simplified Chinese and your sharp listening skills could directly shape how AI understands and processes spoken language for over a billion people? We're looking for detail-oriented Audio Transcript Editors to clean up, correct, and polish audio transcripts — ensuring every word, character, and timestamp is accurate.
This is meticulous, meaningful work at the intersection of language and technology. You'll listen closely, compare audio against existing transcripts, and make word-level corrections that teach AI systems to truly understand spoken Chinese. If you're the kind of person who notices when a single character is wrong or a timestamp is off by half a second, this role is made for you.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience required — just native-level Simplified Chinese, excellent listening skills, and a commitment to precision.
