About AI Training Work

AI training is the human work behind modern artificial intelligence. Contributors prepare and review examples such as audio transcripts so AI systems can learn to recognize speech, accents, speakers, and real-world recording conditions more accurately.

This work is remote and flexible, making it possible to contribute from anywhere with a reliable internet connection while developing experience in a fast-growing technology field.

The Role

OpenTrain is hiring a Spanish (Spain) Audio Transcriptionist for a fully remote, hourly contractor position. You will transcribe authentic Peninsular Spanish recordings for AI training, including conversations with natural speech, multiple speakers, crosstalk, overlapping dialogue, filled pauses, and background noise.

This is an entry-level opportunity requiring at least 20 hours per week. Scheduling is flexible, and assignments can be completed independently and asynchronously.
