About this Role
From the Turing listing
About Turing: Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems. Turing helps customers in two ways: Working with the world’s leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities in thinking, reasoning, coding, agentic behavior, multimodality, multilinguality, STEM and frontier knowledge; and leveraging that work to build real-world AI systems that solve mission-critical priorities for companies. Role Overview: We are building a highly accurate, evaluation-grade dataset of transcribed, multi-channel audio recordings to assess multilingual, multi-speaker AI systems. This project involves evaluating high-quality and realistic conversations representing diverse dynamics, contexts, and demographics. What does day-to-day look like:
- Review and evaluate AI-generated transcriptions and diarization outputs to ensure exceptionally high accuracy and adherence to strict low error-rate (WER) targets.
- Validate whether transcripts correctly capture spontaneous, unnormalized speech while preserving natural conversational dynamics such as overlaps, interruptions, false starts, and disfluencies.
- Assess the precision of turn-level and word-level timestamps, as well as speaker identification, paying special attention to complex, overlapping dialogue.
- Comfortably read and validate underlying JSON-formatted outputs to ensure accurate metadata tagging, diarization alignment, and timestamp logic.
- Identify transcription, diarization, segmentation, and alignment errors and determine whether AI output quality meets acceptance thresholds. Requirements:
- Fluent/Native proficiency in Spanish (Latam/Spain).
- Exceptional ear for audio fidelity and the ability to detect subtle background noises, channel bleed, or clipping.
- Meticulous attention to detail for verifying word-level timestamps, diarization accuracy, and strict, unnormalized verbatim transcription rules.
- Ability to evaluate AI-generated transcription quality and identify recognition, segmentation, and speaker attribution errors. Preferred Qualifications:
- Linguists / Phonetics Experts: Deep understanding of natural, unnormalized speech patterns. Expertise in evaluating conversational dynamics and identifying transcription and diarization inconsistencies in spontaneous speech.
- Language Teachers: Exceptional, native-level mastery of the target language. Ability to evaluate transcript fidelity and ensure speech content is preserved without normalization or grammar correction.
- Professional Transcriptionists / Speech Data QA Specialists: Strong ear for audio fidelity, rigorous timestamp validation skills, experience reviewing ASR outputs, and ability to assess transcription quality against strict accuracy targets. Experience validating turn-level and word-level timestamps is highly preferred. Perks of Freelancing With Turing:
- Work in a fully remote environment.
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.
- Potential for contract extension based on performance and project needs. Offer Details:
- This is a flexible agreement , not a full-time or part-time employment position. Evaluation Process
- Shortlisting based on qualifications and relevant professional experience.
- Shortlisted candidates will undergo a delivery review, after which they will be ready to start!
Requirements
- Communication
- Must be eligible to work in Spain

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a software engineer to work for Turing?
No, not anymore. Turing built its name matching senior engineers with Silicon Valley companies, but it has since expanded into AGI infrastructure work and now hires non-engineering domain experts, technical writers, and researchers for post-training data annotation and RLHF. A strong analytical background and excellent English matter more than coding ability.
How does Turing's talent matching work?
Turing calls it the Intelligent Talent Cloud. You build a profile and go through vetting (automated tests, an AI-powered interview, practical skill assessments), and once vetted, Turing's algorithm surfaces your profile directly to partner companies like Fortune 500s and top AI labs. You don't browse listings or bid on work; matches come to you.
How and when does Turing pay contractors?
Monthly, in USD, via Deel, Payoneer, or direct bank transfer. You're engaged as an independent contractor responsible for your own local taxes. Plan your cash flow around a monthly cycle if you're used to weekly payouts elsewhere.
What equipment do I need for creative AI training roles?
For voice or audio roles at this pay level, a professional home studio setup (XLR microphone, acoustically treated room) is typically required. Phone recordings and laptop mics usually get rejected by quality control.
How is my creative work actually used in AI training?
As ground-truth data: for writers, that means creative generation samples; for voice actors, it often means training text-to-speech models. Check the specific contract details on rights usage for your voice or likeness before signing.
Do creative AI training roles allow creative freedom?
Some, within limits. You're hired for your talent, but most projects still require following strict style guides, like keeping a neutral tone or matching a technical-manual style. Consistency across the dataset matters more than personal expression here.
What does Voice Acting work look like for a Transcriber/Audio Annotation Trainer - Spanish (Latam/Spain) Language?
Tasks here are scoped to Voice Acting, not generic labeling. As a Transcriber/Audio Annotation Trainer - Spanish (Latam/Spain) Language, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Voice Acting) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Voice Acting background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
Do I need to be fluent in Spanish?
Yes. This role specifically requires Spanish proficiency. You will likely be evaluated on written fluency during the assessment, not just conversational level. If Spanish is not your first language or you are not professionally fluent, this is not the right role. Filter for your native language to find better-matched listings.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Turing's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
Can I apply from outside Spain?
This specific role is restricted to Spain. If you are outside these locations, applying is unlikely to result in an offer even if you pass the assessment. Check the full job description for any VPN or tax-residency caveats.
