Japanese Audio Transcript Editor (AI Training)
About The Role
What if your native command of Japanese and your ear for precision could directly improve how AI understands and processes spoken language? We're looking for detail-oriented Japanese Audio Transcript Editors — including London's substantial Japanese-speaking and Japan-connected professional community — to clean up, correct, and polish audio transcripts, ensuring every word, timestamp, and formatting detail is accurate and consistent.
This is structured, meaningful work at the intersection of language and technology. You'll listen carefully, catch what others miss, and help build the high-quality datasets that teach AI systems to truly understand Japanese speech.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just native-level Japanese, strong listening skills, and a commitment to word-level accuracy.
Organization: Alignerr
Type: Hourly Contract
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
