About The Role

What if your ability to hear every word — even through background noise, overlapping speakers, and fast-paced dialogue — could directly shape how AI understands spoken German? We're looking for detail-oriented transcriptionists in the Vienna area to produce accurate, high-quality transcriptions of German-language audio, helping build the datasets that teach AI systems how real people speak.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role perfect for native Austrian German speakers, as well as speakers of standard German residing in Vienna. No prior AI experience required — just exceptional listening skills, strong written German, and a methodical work ethic.

• Follow detailed style and formatting guidelines with consistency and precision
