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.

• Flag unclear, ambiguous, or low-quality audio segments according to project protocols
• Maintain high accuracy and consistency across large volumes of transcript data

• 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

• 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
