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 Sydney's growing Japanese-speaking 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
What You'll Do
- Listen to Japanese audio recordings and review corresponding transcripts for accuracy
- Correct errors in transcription — including misheard words, missing segments, incorrect kanji, and punctuation issues
- Verify and adjust word-level timing and alignment to match the audio precisely
- Apply detailed style and formatting guidelines consistently across all assignments
- Flag unclear, ambiguous, or low-quality audio segments according to project protocols
- Maintain high accuracy and consistency across large volumes of transcript data
- Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Native or near-native fluency in Japanese with excellent listening comprehension
- Meticulous attention to detail — you notice subtle errors that others overlook
- Comfortable working with word-level accuracy and exact timing in transcripts
- Able to follow detailed style guides and formatting rules precisely and consistently
- Strong reading and writing skills in Japanese, including confident use of kanji, hiragana, and katakana
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
- Comfortable using web-based tools and audio playback interfaces
- Nice to Have
- Experience as a transcriptionist, court reporter, or captioning/subtitling editor
- Background in linguistics, language studies, or Japanese language education
- Prior work with annotation platforms, data labeling tools, or transcription software
- Experience with closed-captioning workflows or subtitle timing
- Familiarity with AI training data or speech recognition systems
- Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
- Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
- Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
