German Audio Transcript Editor (AI Training) – Remote

German Audio Transcript Editor (AI Training) – Remote
About the Role
What if your ear for the German language could directly shape how AI understands and transcribes spoken words for millions of people? We're looking for detail-oriented German-speaking Transcript Editors based in the United States — particularly in the New York City metro area — to clean up, correct, and polish audio transcripts for AI training.
This is precision work that makes a real difference. You'll listen carefully to German audio recordings, compare them against existing transcripts, and make word-level corrections that help AI systems learn to hear and transcribe German with greater accuracy. Whether you're a heritage speaker, an immigrant, an expat, or someone who acquired native-level fluency, your skills are genuinely valuable here.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just native-level German, strong listening skills, and a commitment to accuracy.
