Job description
About the Company
Prolific operates a platform focused on collecting high-quality human data for AI research and development. Thousands of AI teams, researchers, and organizations rely on it to work with paid participants who bring different backgrounds, skills, and knowledge.
Role Summary
This temporary research role is for fluent speakers of Arabic, specifically the Saudi dialect, who can evaluate how well AI systems understand and reproduce human language. The work centers on judging the naturalness, authenticity, and cultural fit of Arabic text and voice outputs.
You will review side-by-side samples of text and audio, listen carefully to generated speech, and assess whether the tone, pronunciation, and delivery sound natural. The project moves quickly, and attention to detail is essential because your feedback helps improve how AI interprets spoken language.
Pay for similar research tasks is typically in the range of USD 20 to 26 per hour. Tasks may require one full uninterrupted hour, although some assignments are shorter.
What You Need
Applicants should be fluent Arabic speakers with a strong grasp of everyday, natural usage. The role also requires the ability to notice subtle differences in accent, tone, and vocal expression.
Good English comprehension is needed to follow instructions and report feedback accurately. A background in linguistics or translation is considered an advantage, and strong attention to detail is important.
You will also need a quiet place to work, reliable headphones or speakers, and a PayPal account so payment can be received from the client.
What You Will Do
Your work will involve comparing text and voice samples, checking whether AI-generated speech sounds authentic, and spotting cases where pronunciation, tone, or cultural context feels off.
You will also review whether the intonation fits the situation being simulated and provide tagging or feedback based on the naturalness and quality of the audio.
Participant Experience
After completing the assessment, participants can join in around 15 minutes and begin accessing flexible work with competitive pay. The platform is designed to connect researchers with contributors worldwide and support the creation of ethical, human-sourced data for AI systems.
