Audiobook QA Expert - English US

What You'll Do5

• Listen to AI-narrated audiobooks in English and rate how natural, accurate, and enjoyable the narration sounds.

• Assign each issue a category and mark the exact span where it occurs inside the review tool.
• Report on listener satisfaction and separate places where the narration feels natural from places where it breaks the experience.
• Stay focused across many hours of audio and keep your error notes precise.

Requirements8

• Native or near-native fluency in US or North American English.
• Active audiobook listener with real opinions about what makes a good listen.
• Working English strong enough to write clear reports and talk with the team.
• Some background in annotation, labeling, transcription, proofreading, linguistics, or another detail-oriented review task.
• A sharp, patient ear and the discipline to stay accurate over long listening sessions.
• Reliable availability of about 20 hours per week on a part-time basis.
• Nice to have: prior work on AI training data, model evaluation, or audio/QA annotation projects.
• Nice to have: a background in language, editing, voice, or audio production.

Who Should Apply

An ideal candidate listens to audiobooks often and can point to specific annotation, transcription, proofreading, or linguistics work in their history. The role suits someone who can commit about 20 hours per week and who enjoys picking apart audio errors without losing patience. The role is less suitable for people who want full-time hours, who seldom listen to audiobooks, or who have no review or labeling experience. Applicants lose fit score when they describe themselves as audiobook fans without naming any annotation, QA, or transcription projects. Another common miss is claiming availability that does not match the 20-hour schedule.
