Portuguese Speech Data Specialist (Native Speaker)

AI models learn spoken language from carefully transcribed and labeled audio. That is the work here.

You receive batches of short audio clips in Portuguese. For each one you produce an accurate transcript of what is said, then answer a small set of structured questions about the voices in the clip: how many people are speaking, the gender of each speaker, and how fluent each sounds (native versus non-native). The value is your ear as a native speaker, so the labels have to reflect what you actually hear, not a guess. Clear audio takes only a few minutes per clip; harder clips with overlapping or background speech take longer.

No prior AI knowledge is needed, and there is no education requirement. If you are a native Portuguese speaker with solid English and a good ear, you can do this well. Requires a minimum of 15 hours of work per week.
