Spanish (Spain) - Audio Transcript Editor

About the Role

What if your sharp ear and native command of Castilian Spanish could directly improve how AI understands spoken language? We're looking for detail-oriented transcript editors to review, clean up, and correct audio transcripts — ensuring every word, timestamp, and formatting detail is precise enough to train the next generation of AI speech systems.

This is meticulous, rewarding work for people who care about getting the details right. If you're the kind of person who notices a missing accent, a misheard word, or a timestamp that's slightly off, this role was made for you.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just native-level Castilian Spanish, strong listening skills, and a commitment to precision.
