Simplified Chinese Audio Transcript Editor Alignerr NY

Simplified Chinese Audio Transcript Editor (AI Training) About the Role

What if your fluency in Simplified Chinese and your sharp ear for spoken language could directly influence how AI understands Mandarin for hundreds of millions of people? We're looking for Audio Transcript Editors in the New York metro area to clean up, correct, and polish audio transcripts — ensuring every character, phrase, and timestamp is precisely accurate.

New York's large, highly educated Mandarin-speaking community is an ideal home for this kind of precision language work. You'll listen to recordings, compare them against existing transcripts, and make the careful, word-level corrections that train AI systems to genuinely understand spoken Chinese. If you notice when a single character is off or a timestamp is misaligned, this role was built for you.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role — work from anywhere on your own schedule. No prior AI experience required.
