The job description

About the Role

What if your voice could help teach AI how to handle a real phone call to a hospital or clinic? We're looking for native Mandarin Chinese speakers to hold natural spoken conversations with an AI healthcare receptionist, then evaluate how well it listens, responds, and takes action.

You'll role-play as a patient (using fictional personas we provide), record short conversations, and grade the AI's performance. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role for people with clear speech, sharp attention to detail, and an ear for what sounds natural.

What You'll Do

Hold 4 to 5 minute spoken conversations in Mandarin Chinese with an AI front desk assistant, playing a fictional patient
Say natural "trigger phrases" to test whether the AI makes the correct function calls (for example, checking a patient record, booking an appointment, or checking insurance)
Review transcripts and classify how accurately the AI understood you and responded
Flag issues such as mispronounced words or tones, cutoffs, interruptions, delays, and incorrect function calls, including timestamps
Test how the AI handles background noise, short replies ("好的," "是的," "不用了"), long numbers, emotional moments, and sensitive or unsafe requests
Follow detailed labeling guidelines consistently and submit high-quality work

Who You Are

Native or near-native Mandarin Chinese speaker with a clear, natural speaking voice
Detail-oriented, with the patience to review recordings and transcripts closely
Comfortable role-playing a patient and sounding authentic
Able to follow multi-step instructions and apply them consistently
Reliable and self-directed when working independently
Access to a quiet space, a good microphone, a stable internet connection, and a second device for playing background noise
Comfortable using web-based tools

Nice to Have

Experience in voice AI evaluation, data annotation, or QA testing
Background in healthcare administration, customer service, or call center work
Sensitivity to tones, regional accents, and natural colloquial Mandarin (Mainland China, Taiwan, or elsewhere)
Linguistics or language-focused studies
Familiarity with medical terminology in Chinese

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
Fully remote and flexible
Task-based work with real autonomy
Directly help make voice AI more accurate, natural, and safe in healthcare settings
Potential for ongoing work as new projects launch

Note: New contributors complete a short unpaid qualification assessment. Contributors who pass are added to paid production work.
