German Audio Transcript Editor – Warsaw (AI Training)

About the Role

What if your ear for the German language could directly shape how AI understands and transcribes spoken words for millions of people? We're looking for detail-oriented German-speaking Transcript Editors in the Warsaw area to clean up, correct, and polish audio transcripts — ensuring every word, timestamp, and formatting detail is exactly right.

Poland has a large and growing community of German-fluent professionals — from those who have lived or worked in German-speaking countries to academics, translators, and business professionals with native-level command of the language. If you have a strong ear for spoken German and a passion for precision, this role is a natural fit.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just native-level German fluency, strong listening skills, and a commitment to accuracy.
