French Audio Transcript Editor (AI Training)

About The Role
What if your perfect ear for French and obsession with precision could directly shape how AI understands spoken language? We're looking for meticulous French Audio Transcript Editors based in Geneva and across French-speaking Switzerland to review, clean up, and correct audio transcripts — ensuring every word, timestamp, and formatting detail is exactly right.
Switzerland's multilingual culture and Geneva's international character make this region a hub for exceptional French language talent. Your familiarity with Swiss French — alongside broader European French varieties — is a genuine advantage in this role.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just native-level French, strong listening skills, and a commitment to precision.
