DESCRIPTION

# Simplified Chinese Audio Transcriptionist (AI Training) ## About the Role 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. Sydney is home to a thriving, diverse Chinese-speaking community, and this is your opportunity to turn that linguistic skill into meaningful, well-compensated remote work. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role — no prior AI experience needed. Just native-level Simplified Chinese, strong listening skills, and comfort following detailed style and formatting guidelines. - **Organization**: Alignerr - **Type**: Hourly Contract - **Location**: Remote - **Commitment**: 10–40 hours/week ## What You'll Do * Listen to audio recordings in Chinese and produce accurate, verbatim transcriptions in Simplified Chinese * Identify and distinguish between multiple speakers within a single recording * Accurately capture crosstalk, overlapping speech, filled pauses (e.g., 嗯, 啊, 那个), false starts, and self-corrections * Handle challenging audio conditions — background noise, low-quality recordings, varying accents and speaking speeds * Apply detailed style guides and formatting conventions consistently across all transcriptions * Flag unclear or unintelligible segments following established protocols * Maintain high accuracy and consistency across large volumes of audio content * Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule ## Who You Are * Native or near-native fluency in Simplified Chinese — both listening and writing * Exceptional listening skills with a sharp ear for linguistic nuance and subtle speech patterns * Naturally detail-oriented with a methodical, patient approach to precise work * Comfortable distinguishing between multiple speakers and handling complex audio scenarios * Able to follow detailed formatting and style guidelines accurately and consistently * Self-motivated and reliable when working independently * Access to a quiet workspace, reliable internet, and quality headphones ## Nice to Have * Professional experience in transcription, court reporting, or stenography * Background in subtitle editing, closed-captioning, or media post-production * Training or education in linguistics, phonetics, or language studies * Prior work with annotation platforms, data labeling tools, or speech-to-text workflows * Familiarity with different Chinese regional accents and dialects * Experience in translation, interpreting, or bilingual content work ## Why Join Us * Work on cutting-edge AI speech and language 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 * Contribute to AI development that directly improves how technology understands spoken Chinese * Build skills in a growing field at the intersection of language and AI * Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
