Requirements7

• Native-level fluency in Japanese, with strong comprehension of both spoken and written language.
• Professional experience in audio transcription, linguistic review, localization, or related language work is strongly encouraged.
• Familiarity with transcription conventions, audio review workflows, annotation tools, or speech data projects is preferred.
• Keen attention to detail, accuracy, and the ability to recognize subtle language, pronunciation, or context differences in audio samples.
• Proficiency in English to follow project instructions and manage occasional English-language content.
• Previous participation in AI training data, data annotation, or language technology projects is a plus.
• Strong organizational skills and commitment to delivering high-quality, timely submissions.

Who Should Apply

This role suits candidates with native-level Japanese fluency and a track record in audio transcription, linguistic review, or localization. If you have worked with annotation tools or speech data projects, your background aligns well. The position is less suitable for those without strong Japanese comprehension or who lack attention to detail in language work. Candidates often get rejected when they cannot demonstrate prior transcription or language review experience, or when their English proficiency is too limited to follow project instructions.
