Simplified Chinese Audio Transcript Editor

Simplified Chinese Audio Transcript Editor (AI Training)
About The Role
What if your command of Simplified Chinese and your listening precision could directly shape how AI understands spoken language for hundreds of millions of people? We're looking for Audio Transcript Editors based in Singapore to clean up, correct, and polish audio transcripts — ensuring every character, word, and timestamp lands exactly right.
Singapore's multilingual environment makes it an ideal home for this kind of nuanced language work. This is meticulous, meaningful work at the intersection of language and technology — comparing audio against existing transcripts and making word-level corrections that teach AI systems to truly understand spoken Chinese.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience required — just native-level Simplified Chinese, excellent listening skills, and a commitment to precision.
