Job description

About The Role

What if your ear for spoken French could directly shape how AI understands and processes real-world conversations? We're looking for detail-oriented French transcriptionists based in France to produce highly accurate transcriptions of spoken audio — helping train AI systems that millions of people will rely on.

This is hands‑on, meaningful work that rewards precision and deep listening. You'll tackle real audio featuring multiple speakers, crosstalk, filled pauses, background noise, and natural conversational nuance — including the rich regional variety found across metropolitan France. If you take pride in catching every word and following exacting guidelines, this role is for you.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just native‑level French, strong ears, and a commitment to quality.

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

What You'll Do

• Listen to French‑language audio recordings and produce accurate, detailed transcriptions
• Handle challenging audio — including overlapping speakers, crosstalk, background noise, regional accents, and filled pauses (e.g., "euh", "hein", "ben")
• Identify and distinguish between multiple speakers throughout a recording
• Follow detailed style and formatting guidelines with precision and consistency
• Apply transcription conventions for non‑verbal sounds, inaudible segments, and spoken disfluencies
• Maintain high accuracy and quality standards across large volumes of audio
• Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Native or near‑native fluency in French — you catch every word, including slang, filler, and regional expressions from across France
• Exceptional listening skills with a sharp ear for nuance, tone, and subtle audio details
• Naturally detail‑oriented with a consistent, methodical approach to work
• Comfortable following and applying detailed style guides and formatting rules
• Able to work with imperfect audio — background noise, low quality, or overlapping speech don't throw you off
• Self‑motivated and reliable when working independently
• Strong written French skills with excellent spelling and grammar

Nice to Have

• Professional experience as a transcriptionist, court reporter, or stenographer
• Background in subtitle creation, closed‑captioning, or video annotation
• Experience with linguistics, phonetics, or language documentation
• Prior work with annotation platforms or data labeling tools
• Familiarity with French regional accents — including Parisian, Lyonnais, Marseillais, and others
• Experience in translation, localization, or editorial work

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
• Contribute to AI development that shapes how technology understands spoken French
• Develop and sharpen your transcription skills on diverse, real‑world audio
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
