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 members of Vancouver's well-established Japanese-speaking 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.

Verify and adjust word-level timing and alignment to match the audio precisely

Apply detailed style and formatting guidelines consistently across all assignments

Maintain high accuracy and consistency across large volumes of transcript data
