Role Overview

• Use proprietary software to provide labels, annotations, recordings, and inputs on projects involving multilingual audio clips, voice recordings, speech samples, and auditory elements in various languages.
• Support the delivery of high-quality curated audio data that ensures clear, natural spoken output, accurate representation of linguistic and prosodic details (such as intonation, rhythm, and accent), and professional audio standards.
• Collaborate with technical staff to develop tasks that improve AI's ability to handle speech modulation, accent variation, noise in real-world recordings, and multilingual audio processing.
• Work with technical staff to improve annotation tools for efficient audio workflows.

Requirements

• Native proficiency in Japanese with exposure to diverse accents, dialects, or regional variations.
• Proficiency in English (minimum B2 level) with clear, natural vocal delivery and pronunciation suitable for audio recording purposes.
• Strong auditory perception to identify nuances in speech, accents, pronunciation, intonation, and audio quality across languages.
