About The Role
What if your ear for spoken Québécois French could directly shape how AI understands and processes real-world conversations? We're looking for detail-oriented French transcriptionists in the Montreal area 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 distinctive sounds and rhythms of Canadian French. If you take pride in catching every word and following exacting guidelines, this role is for you.

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