Overview
Mercor seeks native Dutch speakers who already spend time with audiobooks to judge AI-narrated text-to-speech titles in Dutch (Netherlands). The work centers on listening to synthetic narration and marking where pronunciation, pacing, or audio quality disrupts the experience. You would join a remote, part-time effort of about 20 hours per week, or four hours each day. Candidates may live anywhere, yet the team prefers people based in a region where Dutch is a native language.
What You'll Do6
- Assess AI-narrated Dutch audiobooks for naturalness, accuracy, and listener enjoyment.
- Identify and log synthesized speech errors such as skipped, added, or mispronounced words, incorrect number reading, wrong abbreviation expansion, odd phrasing or intonation, and audio glitches.
- Categorize each issue and mark the exact audio span where it occurs using the review tool.
- Summarize overall listener satisfaction and note where narration feels natural versus where it breaks immersion.
- Stay accurate across long listening sessions and many hours of audio.
- Commit about 20 hours per week on a part-time schedule.
Requirements8
- Native or near-native command of Dutch (Netherlands).
- Active audiobook listener with real opinions about what makes a good listen.
- Working English sufficient for written reports and team communication.
- Experience with annotation, labeling, transcription, proofreading, linguistics, or another detail-heavy review task.
- Sharp, patient ear and the discipline to remain accurate over long listening sessions.
- Availability for about 20 hours per week.
- Nice to have: prior work on AI training data, model evaluation, or audio QA annotation projects.
- Nice to have: background in language, editing, voice, or audio production.
Who Should Apply
The strongest fit is a native Dutch (Netherlands) speaker who listens to audiobooks often and can explain why one narrator works and another falls flat. That person has some track record in annotation, transcription, proofreading, linguistics, or another review-heavy task, plus enough English to file reports the team can act on. This role suits someone who can commit about 20 hours a week and stay sharp through hours of audio. The role is less suitable for casual listeners who lack review experience or for anyone unable to provide consistent part-time hours. Applicants often lose fit points when they describe a love of audiobooks but show no detail-oriented annotation, QA, or language-review work, or when their written English cannot support clear issue reports.
Salary Insight
Pay for this engagement sits at $15 to $20 per hour. That range matches entry-level to early-career annotation and QA work, so candidates with prior AI data evaluation or linguistics review may target the upper end.
