The job description

About the Role

What if your ear for spoken Swiss French could directly shape how AI understands and processes real-world conversations? We're looking for detail-oriented French transcriptionists based in Switzerland to produce highly accurate transcriptions of spoken audio — helping train AI systems that millions of people will rely on.

This is hands-on, meaningful work that rewards precision and deep listening. You'll tackle real audio featuring multiple speakers, crosstalk, filled pauses, background noise, and natural conversational nuance — including the distinctive characteristics of Swiss French as spoken in Geneva, Lausanne, Fribourg, and beyond. If you take pride in catching every word and following exacting guidelines, this role is for you.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just native-level French, strong ears, and a commitment to quality.

What You'll Do

Listen to French-language audio recordings and produce accurate, detailed transcriptions
Handle challenging audio — including overlapping speakers, crosstalk, background noise, accents, and filled pauses typical in Swiss French (e.g., "euh", "hein", "quatre-vingts" vs "huitante")
Identify and distinguish between multiple speakers throughout a recording
Follow detailed style and formatting guidelines with precision and consistency
Apply transcription conventions for non-verbal sounds, inaudible segments, and spoken disfluencies
Maintain high accuracy and quality standards across large volumes of audio
Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

Native or near-native fluency in French — ideally with strong familiarity with Swiss French speech patterns and vocabulary
Exceptional listening skills with a sharp ear for nuance, tone, and subtle audio details
Naturally detail-oriented with a consistent, methodical approach to work
Comfortable following and applying detailed style guides and formatting rules
Able to work with imperfect audio — background noise, low quality, or overlapping speech don't throw you off
Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
Strong written French skills with excellent spelling and grammar

Nice to Have

Professional experience as a transcriptionist, court reporter, or stenographer
Background in subtitle creation, closed-captioning, or video annotation
Experience with linguistics, phonetics, or language documentation
Prior work with annotation platforms or data labeling tools
Familiarity with the full range of Swiss French regional accents — Geneva, Vaud, Valais, Fribourg, and Jura
Experience in translation, localization, or editorial work in a multilingual Swiss context

Why Join Us

Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
Contribute to AI development that shapes how technology understands spoken French
Develop and sharpen your transcription skills on diverse, real-world audio
Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
