Babel Audio

About Babel Audio

Babel Audio works with some of the biggest technology companies in the world and thousands of participants globally to collect the audio data that will train the next generation of AI models.

About the Role

We’re looking for thoughtful, expressive individuals who can engage in natural, free-flowing 15-minute conversations with another participant. These discussions are unscripted and topic-driven, designed to capture genuine human interaction, emotional presence, and authentic back-and-forth dialogue.

There are no fixed roles, performances, or reading prompts. Instead, you and your conversation partner will choose a meaningful topic and explore it together in a way that feels real, curious, and connected, as if two people were talking openly about something that matters to both of them.

This is a fully remote, freelance position that offers complete flexibility in when and how much you work.
