# Simplified Chinese Audio Transcript Editor (AI Training)

## About the Role

What if your native Simplified Chinese and meticulous listening skills could directly shape how AI understands spoken language for over a billion people? We're looking for Audio Transcript Editors in Sydney to clean up, correct, and polish audio transcripts — ensuring every word, character, and timestamp is accurate.

Sydney's vibrant and highly skilled Mandarin-speaking community is a perfect fit for this kind of precision language work. You'll listen to audio recordings, compare them against existing transcripts, and make the word-level corrections that teach AI systems to truly understand spoken Chinese — meaningful, flexible work that you can do entirely on your own schedule.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience required — just native-level Simplified Chinese, exceptional listening skills, and a commitment to accuracy.
