About the Role
n
What if your sharp ears and command of Simplified Chinese could directly shape how AI understands real human conversation? We're looking for detail-oriented transcriptionists in the Sydney area to produce accurate, high-quality transcriptions of spoken Chinese audio — helping AI systems learn to process natural speech the way real people actually talk.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role — no prior AI experience needed.
