Listing checked October 6, 2026 · pay as published by Micro1
Overview

No AI background is needed. Your language skills and attention to detail are what count.

- 1Read assigned sentences aloud in German and English, following project scripts and delivery guidelines.
- 2Listen to audio clips and write accurate transcriptions, noting issues with pronunciation or clarity.
- 3Produce controlled background sounds, such as a stationary car or office ambience, while recording from a fixed location.

Who Should Apply
This role fits someone who speaks German at a native level and English at B2 or above, and who can record clean audio from a quiet, stationary spot. If you have experience with transcription, annotation, or phonetics, your background will help you stand out. The role is less suited to people who need constant supervision or who cannot commit to a fixed recording location. Candidates often lose points when they submit files with background noise or miss metadata tags. Another common issue is not following the exact reading guidelines, which leads to rejected recordings.
