The Work

You will create audio data for machine learning by reading Japanese sentences and recording controlled sounds from a stationary car or a quiet office. The work requires clear speech, careful listening, and consistent recording quality.

You will follow detailed language and technical instructions, submit audio files and any requested written feedback, and communicate remotely about deliverables, questions, and updates. You must protect confidential information and follow ethical data-use practices.

  • Read Japanese sentences clearly and naturally.
  • Record sounds such as seatbelt clicks, door openings, and vehicle indicator signals.
  • Keep the vehicle stationary and record safely when using a car.
  • Check pronunciation, background noise, and audio quality before submitting work.

What It Pays And Takes

This is a remote, part-time contractor role for an entry-level contributor. Previous AI training or data-labeling experience is not required, but you must be able to follow precise instructions and manage your work independently.

  • Pay: $30-$65 per hour.
  • Time: 20 or more hours per week.
  • Location: Remote in the eligible countries listed for this role.
  • Language: Native-level Japanese and English communication at B2 level or higher.
  • Requirements: Natural Japanese fluency, clear enunciation, careful attention to audio quality and data accuracy, and strong written and verbal communication.
  • A quiet office or safe stationary vehicle setup can support the recording work.
