Oromo Voice & Language Data Contributor

Remote | Freelance / Independent Contractor | Flexible Hours

About the Role

Agents Only Technologies is seeking Multilingual Voice & Language Data Contributors to support language documentation, speech data, and transcription projects across multiple languages. This role involves participating in scripted conversations, recording spoken responses, audio while following project guidelines and quality standards.

Unlike traditional voice-over or narration work, this opportunity focuses on authentic speech that supports language technologies, linguistic research, and machine learning applications. Contributors may participate in conversational recordings, complete individual recording prompts, and review or transcribe audio submitted by other contributors.

We are currently seeking speakers of Afrikaans, Albanian, Burmese, Fulah, Haitian Creole, Kurdish, Oromo, Pashto, Quechua, Sesotho, Sinhalese, Tatar, Welsh, and additional languages as project needs evolve.

This opportunity is ideal for multilingual individuals who are detail-oriented, reliable, and interested in flexible, project-based remote work.
