Audiobook QA Expert — Dutch at Mercor

Audiobook QA Expert – Dutch | $15–20/hr | Remote (Netherlands Preferred)

Join a cutting-edge team helping shape the future of AI-narrated audiobooks. We're looking for native Dutch speakers who are passionate about audiobooks and have a sharp, analytical ear to evaluate and improve AI-generated (text-to-speech) narration in Dutch (Netherlands).

This is a part-time, remote role at approximately 20 hours per week (around 4 hours per day). Candidates based in Dutch-speaking regions are preferred.

What You'll Do

• Listen to AI-narrated Dutch audiobooks and assess their naturalness, accuracy, and overall listening quality.
• Identify and log narration errors — including skipped or added words, mispronunciations, incorrect number readings, wrongly expanded abbreviations, unnatural phrasing, intonation issues, and audio artifacts.
• Categorize each issue and mark the precise timestamp or span using our internal review tooling.
• Provide overall listener satisfaction assessments, highlighting where narration feels natural and where it disrupts the experience.
• Maintain consistent attention to detail across extended listening sessions.

Who We're Looking For

• Native or near-native fluency in Dutch (Netherlands) and a genuine, active audiobook listener with real opinions on quality narration.
• Sufficient working English to communicate clearly with the team.
• Some background in annotation, labeling, transcription, proofreading, linguistics, or similar detail-oriented review work.
• A patient, disciplined ear capable of sustained accuracy over long listening sessions.
• Reliable availability of approximately 20 hours per week.

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with AI training data, model evaluation, or audio/QA annotation projects.
• A background in language, editing, voice acting, or audio production.

If you love audiobooks and want to help make AI narration sound genuinely human, we'd love to hear from you.
