Overview

Mercor seeks native Spanish speakers who listen to audiobooks often and want to shape how AI narration sounds. You will review text-to-speech audiobooks in US Spanish, note where the voice sounds wrong, and label each issue inside a review tool. The work runs about 20 hours per week, around 4 hours a day, and you can log in from anywhere. People who live in a region where Spanish is native have an edge, but the team accepts remote applicants. Pay falls between $15 and $20 per hour.

What You'll Do5

  • Listen to AI-narrated audiobooks in Spanish and judge how natural, accurate, and enjoyable each chapter sounds.
  • Mark skipped, added, or mispronounced words, wrong number readings, bad abbreviation expansions, odd phrasing, and audio glitches.
  • Assign a category to every error and highlight the exact audio span where it appears with the review tool.
  • Summarize listener satisfaction and point out sections where the narration works well versus where it breaks immersion.
  • Stay accurate across long listening blocks and keep a steady pace through many hours of audio.

Requirements6

  • Native or near-native command of US or North American Spanish.
  • Active audiobook listener who can talk about what makes a good listen.
  • Working English for written reports and team messages. Full bilingual fluency is not required.
  • Background in annotation, labeling, transcription, proofreading, linguistics, or similar detail-heavy review.
  • Patient ear and the focus to stay accurate through long listening sessions.
  • Availability for about 20 hours per week on a part-time schedule.

Who Should Apply

The ideal candidate speaks US Spanish as a native or near-native, listens to audiobooks on a regular basis, and has done annotation, transcription, proofreading, or similar review work. You should enjoy picking apart narration and explaining why a voice sounds off. This role fits people who want steady part-time remote work and can commit about 20 hours each week. The role is less suitable for anyone without strong Spanish listening skills, people who dislike long audio sessions, or candidates who need full-time hours. Fit scores often drop when applicants cannot give concrete examples of narration errors or when their background shows no detail-heavy review tasks.

Salary Insight

The posting lists an hourly range of $15 to $20. That band fits part-time audio review and annotation work that asks for native Spanish, and the final rate likely depends on your past QA or model-evaluation experience.
