What We're Researching
We're running a paid study to improve the accuracy of Amharic speech recognition models. High-quality audio segmentation and transcription correction feed directly into making these language tools more reliable. This work ensures that automated systems accurately capture the nuances of spoken Amharic.
How It Works
You will log into a dedicated platform to listen to various Amharic audio recordings. Your primary task is to verify and adjust the existing audio segmentation boundaries so they align perfectly with the speech. You will also review the text transcripts provided and correct any errors you hear. This is an ongoing project requiring a minimum commitment of 10 hours per week.
Who This Is For
We are looking for fluent Amharic speakers with strong listening and writing skills. Candidates with a background in transcription, translation, or linguistics are highly encouraged to apply. You must be detail-oriented and able to commit to the ongoing weekly hour requirement.
Why this role
This Amharic Speakers: Audio Transcription and Segmentation Project role pays $4/hr for Generalist expertise, and onboarding teaches the AI-specific parts of the work.

Common questions
Is Terac legitimate?
Yes. Terac is a funded US marketplace whose clients are AI labs and market-research firms. It checks your identity and professional background before it matches you to paid work.
How does Terac decide who gets matched to this listing?
You do a short AI interview, an ID check and a test in your field, once. Terac then matches you to paid studies that fit your profile, and pays you after your submission is checked against the requirements.
Is this kind of AI-training work on Terac steady, or does it come and go?
It comes and goes. Terac opens listings like this when an AI lab asks for a batch of work, such as sorting data, writing coding tasks or creating expert problems, and closes them when the batch is done. Plan for it as gig income you qualify for each time.
Why does pay vary so much across Terac's AI-training listings?
Pay follows the expertise a task needs. General labeling pays a few dollars an hour, and work that needs a passed screening in your field, such as software engineering or STEM problems, can pay over $100 a task. Check the rate on this listing.
Do creative AI training roles allow creative freedom?
Some. You're hired for your talent, but most projects follow strict style guides, such as a neutral tone or a technical-manual style, so the work stays consistent.
What equipment do I need for creative AI training roles?
Voice and audio roles at this pay level usually need a home studio: an XLR microphone and a quiet, treated room. Quality checks usually reject phone and laptop recordings.
What does Generalist work look like for an Amharic Speakers: Audio Transcription and Segmentation Project?
You check AI answers to Generalist questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As an Amharic Speakers: Audio Transcription and Segmentation Project, you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on Generalist experience matters.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Data Annotation is named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with this, expect the screening to test for it.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $4/hr, an hourly rate. Pay can change after we check the listing, so confirm the rate on the platform's application page.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
Apply opens Terac's site, where you create an account and follow its sign-up steps.
Can I apply from outside Ethiopia or the United States?
This role is open only to people based in Ethiopia and the United States. The limit is usually about where the platform can legally hire, so applying from elsewhere rarely leads to an offer. Check the description for tax or right-to-work rules before you apply, since they can differ by country.
