Job description

Spanish (Spain) Audio Transcriptionist (AI Training)

What if your ability to catch every word, pause, and nuance in spoken Spanish could directly shape how AI understands real human conversation? We're looking for detail-oriented transcriptionists based in Spain to produce precise, high-quality transcriptions of spoken Spanish audio — helping build the datasets that teach AI systems to truly listen.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Listen to audio recordings in Spanish and produce accurate, verbatim transcriptions following detailed style and formatting guidelines
• Handle challenging audio scenarios — including crosstalk, overlapping speakers, filled pauses (e.g., "eh", "mm"), background noise, and varying audio quality
• Accurately identify and differentiate between multiple speakers within a single recording
• Apply consistent formatting conventions for timestamps, speaker labels, non-verbal sounds, and unclear segments
• Flag audio segments that are unintelligible or ambiguous, following established protocols
• Maintain a high standard of accuracy, consistency, and attention to detail across all assignments
• Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Native Spanish speaker from Spain — with an intuitive command of Peninsular Spanish vocabulary, expressions, accents, and speech patterns
• Exceptional listening skills with an ear for subtlety — you catch what others miss
• Comfortable working with imperfect audio: background noise, fast speech, interruptions, and overlapping dialogue don't throw you off
• Naturally detail-oriented with a methodical, patient approach to repetitive work
• Able to follow detailed style guides and formatting rules with precision and consistency
• Strong written skills in Spanish — your transcriptions read cleanly and accurately
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
• No prior AI or tech experience required

Nice to Have

• Professional experience as a transcriptionist, court reporter, or stenographer
• Background in subtitle creation, closed-captioning editing, or media post-production
• Training or experience in linguistics, phonetics, or language documentation
• Prior work with annotation platforms, data labeling tools, or AI training workflows
• Familiarity with different regional accents and dialects within Spain
• Experience handling specialised or technical audio content

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
• Your linguistic expertise directly shapes how AI understands spoken Spanish
• Develop and sharpen transcription skills on diverse, real-world audio
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
