Job description

Join our team as an Independent Contractor for Project Lupin.
Project Lupin aims to help improve AI-powered speech recognition models
In this project, participants contribute by checking and modifying the audio segmentation and transcription. The transcriptions generated will contribute to the development of improved AI-powered speech recognition models.
Project Benefits
-Flexible hours – Work on your own schedule
-Remote – Work from anywhere
-Fair pay globally – Always above minimum wage in your market
-Scalable earnings – The more you work, the more you earn
Task Summary

You will listen to real audio recordings and produce precise, verbatim transcripts — capturing not just what was said, but how it was said. That means every “uh,” every repeated word, and every trailing sentence matters. Your work will include:

      • Verbatim transcription with a target of 98%+ accuracy
      • Timestamping segments with less than 500ms deviation
      • Speaker labeling for conversations with 2 to 8 participants
      • Event annotation for non-speech elements (e.g., laughter, background noise, unintelligible audio)

Requirements
  • Native-level fluency in Mandarin Chinese (Simplified), including familiarity with regional accents and informal speech
  • Strong listening comprehension and attention to detail.
  • Ability to produce verbatim transcriptions, including stutters, repetitions, and filler words.
  • Experience in transcription, annotation, or linguistics is an advantage.
  • Comfortable using browser-based tools (training will be provided).
  • Reliable internet connection.
  • Access to a laptop or desktop computer (mobile devices are not supported).
  • Reliable availability for minimum 10+ hours per week.
Please Note
This project follows a first-come, first-served approach and operates with demographic quotas to ensure fair and balanced representation across all participant groups. As a result, some individuals may not receive a task assignment if their group has already been filled.
This role is a project-based opportunity with CrowdGen, where you will join the CrowdGen Community as an Independent Contractor. If selected, you will receive an email from CrowdGen regarding the creation of an account using your application email address. You will need to log in to this account and reset the password, complete the setup requirements, and proceed with your application for this project-based role.
Join us in shaping the future of voice AI. Your participation in Project Lupin will directly help improve how technology understands and responds to real human speech.
