Role overview

We are hiring fluent Arabic speakers for a paid research role centered on Arabic (Saudi Dialect) evaluation. The work supports AI systems that are learning to communicate with greater accuracy, nuance, and authenticity.

You will review text and voice samples side by side, judge how natural and genuine the language sounds, and help assess whether AI-generated speech reflects the correct tone, pronunciation, and cultural context. The work is fast-moving and detail-sensitive, and your judgment will directly affect how AI understands human language.

Compensation for researchers seeking these skills is typically in the range of USD 20 to 26 per hour. The tasks may require one uninterrupted hour of work, although many individual tasks are shorter.

What you will need to bring

To succeed in this role, you should have strong Arabic fluency, especially in natural everyday Saudi dialect usage, along with the ability to notice subtle differences in accent, tone, and delivery. You also need clear English communication for instructions and reporting.

A sharp eye for detail is important, and experience in linguistics or translation is considered an advantage. You must have a quiet working environment, quality headphones or speakers, and a PayPal account to receive payments.

What the work involves

The assignment includes comparing written and spoken snippets, checking the naturalness of AI-generated audio, spotting pronunciation or tone that feels off, reviewing whether intonation matches the cultural setting, and tagging feedback on authenticity and voice quality.

Why join

Once you pass the assessment, you can begin in around 15 minutes. The platform offers competitive pay, flexible scheduling, and the option to work from home while contributing to the development of future AI systems.
