About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building modern artificial intelligence. Contributors prepare and review examples such as transcriptions, annotations, and model responses so AI systems can better understand natural human communication.

Audio transcription work is especially important for teaching AI to recognize real speech, including accents, interruptions, background noise, and conversations between multiple people.

• Work remotely with a computer and internet connection
• Contribute to cutting-edge AI systems
• Use language and listening skills in a growing technology field

The Role

OpenTrain is recruiting a Spanish Audio Transcriptionist based in Spain to convert real-world spoken Spanish recordings into precise, structured text for AI training datasets. The work focuses on Peninsular Spanish and requires close attention to speech details across crosstalk, multiple speakers, background noise, filled pauses, interruptions, and varying recording quality.

This is entry-level contractor work, and prior AI or technology experience is not required. The position is fully remote and part time, with a stated project range of 10 to 40 hours per week and a structured time requirement of 20 or more hours per week.

• Location: Spain
• Language: Native-level Peninsular Spanish
• Employment type: Contractor and part time
• Pay: $10 to $35 per hour
• Data type: Audio transcription

What You'll Do

You will listen carefully to Spanish audio and create accurate, verbatim transcripts. You will apply consistent conventions and make informed judgments when recordings contain unclear or overlapping speech.

• Transcribe Spanish audio recordings verbatim
• Apply timestamps and speaker labels consistently
• Distinguish multiple speakers in recordings with overlapping dialogue
• Mark non-verbal sounds and filled pauses according to project conventions
• Flag unintelligible or ambiguous passages using established protocols
• Follow detailed transcription style and formatting guidelines
• Maintain accuracy and consistency while working independently

Requirements and Helpful Background

You should have native-level Peninsular Spanish vocabulary, expressions, accents, and speech patterns, along with strong written Spanish. Exceptional listening skills are important for understanding fast speech, interruptions, background noise, crosstalk, and overlapping dialogue.

A methodical, patient, and detail-oriented approach is essential. Experience in professional transcription, court reporting, stenography, subtitle creation, closed-caption editing, or media post-production may be useful, as may training in linguistics, phonetics, or language documentation. Experience with annotation, data-labeling workflows, regional Spanish accents and dialects, or specialized audio content is also relevant.

• Native-level Peninsular Spanish ability
• Strong written Spanish and accurate transcription skills
• Excellent listening and speaker-identification ability
• Careful handling of pauses, crosstalk, noise, and unclear audio
• Reliable, independent work habits
• Precise adherence to detailed standards
• Prior AI or technology experience is not required
