The Work

You will transcribe Japanese audio and review transcripts so AI systems can learn from accurate spoken-language data. The work includes capturing meaning, context, speaker details, and subtle language differences.

  • Time: Less than 20 hours per week.
  • Location: Available in eligible countries listed for this role.
  • Language: Native-level Japanese fluency and strong spoken and written comprehension.
  • English: Proficiency needed to follow project instructions and manage occasional English-language content.
