About Babel Audio

Babel Audio is a San Francisco company that builds AI speech datasets. Contributors record conversations with other people, read prompts aloud or transcribe speech. Rates are set per project; examples on its site include $50 per hour for an English video conversation partner, $17.50 per hour for French or Italian conversations and $110 per hour for some transcriber roles. Babel Audio pays weekly through PayPal, Venmo or bank transfer.

Who can apply

No experience is required, and contributors can work in any language they speak fluently. You need a computer, stable internet and a decent microphone or headset for recording work.
