About the Role
What if your perfect ear for French and obsession with precision could directly shape how AI understands spoken language? We're looking for meticulous French Audio Transcript Editors based in Brussels and across Belgium to review, clean up, and correct audio transcripts — ensuring every word, timestamp, and formatting detail is exactly right.
Brussels' unique multilingual environment makes it a rich source of talent for this kind of nuanced language work. Whether your French is rooted in Belgian French traditions or shaped by exposure to a broad range of European accents, your ear is a genuine asset here.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just native-level French, strong listening skills, and a commitment to precision.
