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 Montreal and across Quebec to review, clean up, and correct audio transcripts — ensuring every word, timestamp, and formatting detail is exactly right.
Montreal's vibrant French-language community and Quebec's rich linguistic heritage make this region an exceptional source of talent for high-quality French audio work. Your deep familiarity with Québécois French — including its distinct rhythms, vocabulary, and registers — is a real asset on these projects.
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.
