• Work remotely with a computer or compatible recording setup
• Follow precise instructions to create consistent audio examples
• Help shape how AI systems understand and respond to human speech

The Role

OpenTrain AI is seeking native English speakers from the USA or Canada for an urgent audio recording task. You will record 11 specific trigger words 12 times each, producing 132 total recordings. The project must be completed within the next 2 to 4 days.

What You'll Do

You will make recordings in two environments: a quiet indoor space and a reflective space such as a bathroom or hallway.
