Dutch Audio Transcriptionist (AI Training)

Dutch Audio Transcriptionist (AI Training)
About the Role
What if your native Dutch fluency — and your ability to catch every nuance, pause, and dialect cue in challenging audio — could directly shape how AI understands spoken Dutch for millions of people? We're looking for detail-oriented transcriptionists with native-level Dutch to produce accurate, high-quality transcriptions of Dutch-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 Dutch native speakers living in Germany who are looking for meaningful, task-based work they can do entirely on their own schedule. No prior AI experience required.
