Job description

Join Project Melora - English Voice Recording ($10-$25)

Help build more natural voice AI by recording short, one-sided phone calls in English. Imagine you're calling a bank, telco, or retailer for help, and speak naturally using made-up details. Each session takes only a few minutes.

Requirements

• Native English speaker, 18+
• Can read and follow short instructions in English
• Own an iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, or 17 Pro Max
• Have a quiet indoor space to record (no TV, traffic, fans, or other voices)
• Can complete 4-10 calls, each 1-2 minutes (5 minutes max)
• Can spread calls out: no more than 3 per day, at least 3 hours apart, at different times of day across several days
• Comfortable improvising a natural, unscripted call that follows a 6-step flow: greeting, ID verification, describing the issue, pausing for the agent's reply, resolution, and closing
• Will use only fake names and account or order numbers (no real personal information)
• Willing to be recorded, give recorded consent, sign an NDA, and follow project guidelines

How it works

Record solo calls on our secure platform. No second person is needed; pause where the agent would respond.

Submit basic metadata after each call.

Pay

Pay: $2.50 per QA-approved session

You need at least 4 approved sessions to be paid ($10.00), and you can do up to 10 ($25.00).

Sessions that fail QA don't count toward payment.

We recommend doing all 10 to get the full payout.
