About AI Training and Audio Transcription

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. People prepare, transcribe, review, and annotate real-world data so AI systems can better understand language, speech, and context.

In this role, your Mandarin and English listening skills will help produce reliable audio data for language technology. Careful transcription gives AI models high-quality examples from which to learn.

• Contribute to cutting-edge language and speech technology
• Apply linguistic judgment to real-world audio samples
• Help improve how AI systems understand Mandarin and English
