What transcription work for AI involves

AI transcription roles go beyond typing what you hear. Projects may ask you to transcribe recordings verbatim, tag speakers and background noise, correct machine-generated transcripts, label accents or emotion, or record your own voice reading prompts. The work is part of the broader audio and speech category on OpenTrain.

Languages and accents in demand

Speech systems need data from every language and accent, so many transcription roles ask for native or fluent speakers of a specific language. Check the language directory for roles in your language, and note that some projects also want particular regional accents.

Pay and schedule

Transcription roles are usually hourly or per audio-minute contracts with flexible hours. Rates depend on language, difficulty, and whether the project needs specialist vocabulary. Most transcription roles are entry level, and consistent accuracy leads to more work.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need transcription experience?
Most roles do not. They ask for excellent listening and spelling in the project language, a quiet workspace, and a headset. Some specialist projects prefer prior transcription work.
Which languages are transcription jobs available in?
English roles are the most common, and roles regularly open for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, and other languages. The language directory lists current roles.
How are transcription jobs paid?
Usually by the hour or by audio minute, as stated on each listing. Rates vary with language and difficulty.
Are voice recording jobs listed here too?
Yes. Voice data collection roles, where you record prompts in your own voice, appear alongside transcription and audio review roles in the audio and speech category.
