Paid voice recording & speech data jobs
Audio & speech roles advertise a median top rate of $30/hr, with the middle half of rates at $20–$50/hr, measured from 93 distinct advertised rates across 428 live roles, as of 2026-10-12.
Speech models need voices: platforms pay for recorded speech, transcription and pronunciation review across languages and accents. Often per-task rather than hourly; we show per-task pay as per-task, never converted into a fake hourly rate.
