Brazilian Portuguese Audio Transcriptionist (AI Training)
About the Role
What if your sharp ear for spoken Brazilian Portuguese could directly shape how AI understands and processes one of the world's most widely spoken languages? We're looking for detail-oriented transcriptionists to produce accurate, high-quality transcriptions of spoken audio — helping build the datasets that teach AI systems how real people actually talk.
This is hands-on, meaningful work that goes beyond simple dictation. You'll navigate real-world audio featuring crosstalk, multiple speakers, filled pauses, background noise, and natural conversational nuance. Your ability to capture what's actually being said — with precision and consistency — is what makes this role essential.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just native-level Brazilian Portuguese, strong listening skills, and a commitment to following detailed guidelines.
