About AI Training and Audio Data

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. People provide, record, review, and label examples that help AI systems understand real-world language and sound more reliably.

Audio contributors play an important role by creating clear speech recordings and realistic sound samples. This remote work can offer flexible, part-time participation while giving you direct experience with cutting-edge AI development.

The Role

OpenTrain AI is seeking a Japanese-English Audio Recording Contributor to support machine learning data creation. You will record Japanese sentences and controlled background sounds from either a stationary vehicle or a quiet office environment.

This is a worldwide, remote contractor opportunity with part-time engagement and a time requirement of 20 or more hours per week. The pay range is $30-$65 USD per hour.

• Employment type: Part-time contractor
• Work arrangement: Remote, worldwide
• Time requirement: 20+ hours per week
• Pay: $30-$65 USD per hour

What You’ll Do

You will create consistent, high-quality audio recordings by following detailed linguistic and technical specifications. The work requires careful attention to pronunciation, background noise, audio quality, and data accuracy.

Vehicle-related recordings must be completed with the vehicle stationary and handled safely. You will also coordinate remotely regarding deliverables, clarifications, and project updates.

• Read Japanese sentences clearly and naturally.
• Record from a stationary car or quiet office environment.
• Create requested sounds such as seatbelt clicks, door openings, and car indicator signals.
• Follow precise linguistic and technical recording instructions.
• Submit clear audio recordings and any required written feedback.
• Protect confidential information and follow ethical data-use practices.

Requirements

This entry-level opportunity does not require previous AI or data-labeling experience. It is best suited to contributors who are comfortable producing repeatable recordings, following detailed instructions, and managing their workflow independently in a remote setting.

• Native-level Japanese proficiency, natural fluency, and clear enunciation
• Written and verbal English communication skills at least at the B2 level
• Ability to follow precise linguistic and technical recording instructions
• Strong attention to pronunciation, background noise, audio quality, and data accuracy
• Ability to meet audio-quality and content specifications
• Independent workflow management in a remote setting
• A quiet office or safe stationary vehicle setup that supports the recording requirements

Who Should Apply

Apply if you are a native-level Japanese speaker who can communicate in English and enjoys careful, language-focused work. Experience with audio recording, spoken-content feedback, or repeatable instruction-based tasks can be helpful, but prior AI or data-labeling experience is not required.

• Bilingual Japanese-English contributors
• People with strong pronunciation and careful listening skills
• Contributors who notice background noise and audio-quality issues
• Individuals who can provide clear written feedback on spoken content
• Remote workers who can manage deliverables and updates independently
