About the role
What if your native command of Peninsular Spanish could directly shape how AI understands real human conversation?
New York's vibrant Spanish-speaking community makes it an ideal place to find the sharp ears and cultural fluency this work demands. You'll tackle real-world audio featuring crosstalk, multiple speakers, background noise, and natural speech patterns. No prior AI experience needed.
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs.
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you.
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work.
- Your linguistic expertise directly shapes how AI understands spoken Spanish.
- Develop and sharpen transcription skills on diverse, real-world audio.
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch.
Responsibilities
- Listen to audio recordings in Peninsular Spanish and produce accurate, verbatim transcriptions following detailed style and formatting guidelines.
- Handle challenging audio scenarios — including crosstalk, overlapping speakers, filled pauses (e.g., "eh", "mm"), background noise, and varying audio quality.
- Accurately identify and differentiate between multiple speakers within a single recording.
- Apply consistent formatting conventions for timestamps, speaker labels, non-verbal sounds, and unclear segments.
- Flag audio segments that are unintelligible or ambiguous, following established protocols.
- Maintain a high standard of accuracy, consistency, and attention to detail across all assignments.
- Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule.
Required skills
- Exceptional listening skills with an ear for subtlety — you catch what others miss.
- Comfortable working with imperfect audio: background noise, fast speech, interruptions, and overlapping dialogue don't throw you off.
- Naturally detail-oriented with a methodical, patient approach to repetitive work.
- Able to follow detailed style guides and formatting rules with precision and consistency.
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently.
Preferred skills
- Professional experience as a transcriptionist, court reporter, or stenographer.
- Background in subtitle creation, closed-captioning editing, or media post-production.
- Training or experience in linguistics, phonetics, or language documentation.
- Prior work with annotation platforms, data labeling tools, or AI training workflows.
- Familiarity with different regional accents and dialects within Spain.
- Experience handling specialised or technical audio content.
Experience and education
- No prior AI or tech experience required.
Language requirements
