Current reviewed roles
AI training tasks and assessments, explained with current roles
Task names vary across platforms. This page examines 910 current reviewed roles against ten practical task families using explicit evidence in each listing.
305 of 910 current reviewed roles contain explicit evidence for at least one task family. 605 remain unclassified because their current public listing text is not specific enough; this does not mean those roles have no tasks.
How task families are assigned
A role is assigned only when its title, task-specific profession tags, description, or requirements state the work clearly. Broad category or profession labels alone are not enough. Separate evidence may support more than one family.
Project formats, assessment steps, voice or camera requirements, credentials, rates, and availability vary. A supported family is not a guarantee that you will receive that work.

Audio, voice and transcription
Audio AI work can mean recording speech, transcribing or timing audio, evaluating voice quality, or supplying recordings for model training. Check the actual deliverable, equipment, commitment, and intended use before applying.
What this work involves
What you may do
- • Record supplied scripts or speech to the project's technical specifications
- • Transcribe, timestamp, align, or identify speakers in authorized audio
- • Evaluate pronunciation, naturalness, voice quality, or audio against a rubric
- • Contribute recordings for model training or voice synthesis when that use is disclosed
Common qualifications
- • Strong listening plus the language, accent, or speech fit the role actually requests
- • Accurate transcription or rubric-based audio judgment where the task requires it
- • A recording environment and equipment that meet the project's specifications when recording is required
Assessment signals
- • Accurate transcription, timing, or speaker identification
- • Consistent pronunciation or audio-quality judgments tied to the instructions
- • Following recording, file, retake, and delivery specifications exactly
Current evidence
Platforms: Micro1 (32), Mercor (31)
Top fields: Language and bilingual (33), General professional (16), Finance (9), Software engineering (2)
Voice or camera: Recording projects can require specific microphones, a quiet room, retakes, or other technical conditions. Confirm the equipment before buying anything, and treat camera requirements as a separate explicit requirement. Read the role's actual commitment instead of assuming audio work is either one-off or recurring.
Credentials: Language fluency, transcription, linguistics, voice, media, accessibility, or other specialist experience may matter depending on the project. If recordings may be used for voice cloning or synthesis, rely on the project's written terms for permitted use rather than assuming another provider's rules apply.
