Spanish Audio Transcriptionist (Spain Spanish) – AI Training
up to $35/hr
About this role, in Alignerr's words
What if your deep familiarity with Peninsular Spanish — its rhythms, expressions, and regional nuance — could directly shape how AI understands real human conversation? We're looking for detail-oriented transcriptionists with native-level command of Spain Spanish to produce precise, high-quality transcriptions of spoken Spanish audio, helping build the datasets that teach AI systems to truly listen.
What you'll do
- Listen to audio recordings in Peninsular Spanish and produce accurate, verbatim transcriptions following detailed style and formatting guidelines
- Handle challenging audio scenarios — including crosstalk, overlapping speakers, filled pauses (e.g., "eh", "mm"), background noise, and varying audio quality
- Accurately identify and differentiate between multiple speakers within a single recording

Who You Are

- Naturally detail-oriented with a methodical, patient approach to repetitive work
- Able to follow detailed style guides and formatting rules with precision and consistency
- Strong written skills in Spanish — your transcriptions read cleanly and accurately
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
- No prior AI or tech experience required
