# German Audio Transcriptionist (AI Training)

## About the Role

What if your ability to catch every word — through crosstalk, background noise, and overlapping speakers — could directly shape how AI understands spoken German? We're looking for detail-oriented transcriptionists based in Germany to produce accurate, high-quality transcriptions of German-language audio, helping build the datasets that teach AI systems how real people actually speak.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role ideal for anyone with native German fluency, strong listening skills, and the patience to get every word right. Whether you have a background in transcription, linguistics, subtitling, or media — or simply possess an exceptional ear and a meticulous work ethic — we want to hear from you.

- **Organization**: Alignerr
- **Type**: Hourly Contract
- **Location**: Remote (Germany)
- **Commitment**: 10–40 hours/week

## What You'll Do

* Listen to German-language audio recordings and produce precise, verbatim transcriptions
* Handle challenging audio conditions — including crosstalk, filled pauses ("ähm," "hmm"), background noise, and multiple simultaneous speakers
* Accurately identify and distinguish between different speakers throughout recordings
* Follow detailed style and formatting guidelines with consistency and precision
* Apply transcription conventions for non-verbal sounds, incomplete utterances, and other spoken-language phenomena
* Maintain high quality and accuracy standards across large volumes of audio
* Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments at your own pace

## Who You Are

* Native or near-native fluency in German — you catch every nuance, regional dialect cue, and filler word
* Exceptional listening skills with the ability to parse difficult or noisy audio
* Highly detail-oriented with a methodical, patient approach to repetitive tasks
* Comfortable following and consistently applying detailed style guides and formatting rules
* Strong written German skills — spelling, punctuation, and grammar in both standard Hochdeutsch and colloquial registers come naturally to you
* Self-motivated and reliable when working independently without direct supervision
* Comfortable using web-based tools and platforms

## Nice to Have

* Professional experience in transcription, court reporting, or stenography
* Background in subtitling, closed-captioning, or media post-production
* Linguistics training or academic background in German language studies
* Prior experience with annotation platforms or data labeling workflows
* Familiarity with transcription software or audio editing tools
* Knowledge of German regional dialects — Bavarian, Saxon, Swabian, Swiss German, or Austrian variants

## Why Join Us

* Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
* Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
* Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
* Contribute to AI development that directly improves how technology understands spoken German
* Sharpen your transcription and linguistic skills on diverse, real-world audio
* Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
