About the role

Audiobook QA Expert — Spanish (US) | $15–20/hr | Remote (US Preferred) Join a growing team helping shape the future of AI-narrated audiobooks. As a native Spanish speaker and audiobook enthusiast, you'll bring a critical, analytical ear to evaluate text-to-speech narration quality — helping improve the models that power the next generation of listening experiences. This is a part-time, remote role at approximately 20 hours per week.
What You'll Do: Listen to AI-narrated Spanish audiobooks and assess naturalness, accuracy, and overall listener experience. Identify and log speech synthesis errors — including mispronunciations, skipped or added words, incorrect number reading, improper abbreviation expansion, unnatural intonation, and audio artifacts. Categorize each issue and mark the precise timestamp or span using dedicated review tooling. Provide overall satisfaction ratings and qualitative feedback on where narration feels natural versus where it disrupts the listening experience. Maintain consistent attention to detail across extended listening sessions. Who We're Looking For Native or near-native fluency in US / North American Spanish, with a genuine passion for audiobooks. Working proficiency in English sufficient for reporting and team communication. Prior experience in annotation, transcription, proofreading, linguistics, or similar detail-oriented review work. A patient, sharp ear and the discipline to stay accurate over long sessions. Reliable availability of approximately 20 hours per week on a part-time basis.
Nice to Have: Experience with AI training data, model evaluation, or audio/QA annotation projects. Background in linguistics, editing, voice acting, or audio production. This is a remote, part-time contractor role. Candidates based in regions where Spanish is natively spoken are strongly preferred.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
