Brazilian Portuguese Audio Transcriptionist (AI Training)

About The Role What if your native ear for spoken Brazilian Portuguese could directly shape how AI understands one of the world's most widely spoken languages? We're looking for detail-oriented transcriptionists — including Miami's vibrant Brazilian community — to produce accurate, high-quality transcriptions of spoken audio that teach AI systems how real people actually talk. This is hands-on, meaningful work that goes far beyond simple dictation. You'll navigate real-world audio featuring crosstalk, multiple speakers, filled pauses, background noise, and the full richness of natural Brazilian Portuguese conversation. Your ability to capture what's actually being said — with precision and consistency — is what makes this role essential. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just native-level Brazilian Portuguese, strong listening skills, and a commitment to following detailed guidelines.
