About OpenTrain

OpenTrain is the #1 platform for people building careers in AI training and data labeling. We help contributors find projects, track work across platforms, and build a lasting freelance portfolio focused on the human side of AI.

Why AI training matters

AI training (data labeling / annotation) is how modern AI systems learn from human examples. People who transcribe, rate, and clean voice interactions directly shape how assistants understand and respond in real-world conversations.

This work is highly flexible, often remote, and accessible to contributors who are detail-oriented and fluent in the target language.

The role

As a German Voice AI Data Rater you will use your voice and a Mac with Apple Silicon to complete everyday tasks for a voice assistant, transcribe spoken queries, produce cleaned transcripts, and rate the assistant’s responses for quality.

This is a contractor, part-time role requiring 20+ hours per week. The position pays $38 USD per hour and is open worldwide to qualified applicants who meet the hardware and language requirements.

What you'll do

Daily work combines hands-on voice tasks, careful transcription, structured logging, and quality rating. You'll both generate and evaluate voice-driven interactions to help improve assistant behavior.

• Use your voice to compose messages, emails, notes, and other everyday app tasks on a Mac (Apple Silicon required).
• Direct the assistant to generate images, format text, apply spreadsheet formulas, and summarize documents via voice commands.
• Transcribe spoken queries accurately and produce a cleaned-up transcript suitable for training data.
• Rate assistant responses for quality, relevance, and correctness using provided rubrics.
• Log task metadata in a structured tracking sheet and upload supporting audio recordings for review.

Requirements

You must meet all listed requirements to be considered for this role.

• Native or near-native German fluency (spoken and written).
• Strong English comprehension to follow instructions and labeling guidelines.
• Own a Mac with an Apple Silicon chip (M1, M2, M3, or equivalent).
• Regular user of common productivity apps: email, messaging, docs, spreadsheets, browsers.
• Comfortable with detailed, structured data entry and self-directed quality review.
• Experience with transcription accuracy, cleaned transcript creation, and response rating.

Helpful background

These are not required but will help you succeed and move faster in the project.

• Previous experience working with bilingual spoken-language tasks or voice datasets.
• Familiarity with voice-driven workflows and productivity software workflows.
• Strong attention to detail for transcription accuracy and consistent rating decisions.

Logistics, pay, and how to apply

This contractor role is paid at $38 USD per hour and requires a minimum commitment of 20+ hours per week. Work is fully remote and open worldwide where local rules permit.

You will submit cleaned transcripts, structured tracking-sheet entries, and upload audio recordings to a shared drive for quality review. OpenTrain provides the task instructions, rating rubrics, and submission templates.
