AI Training Contributor

About LILT

LILT works with native speakers and subject-matter experts around the world on AI training projects, such as recording, transcription, writing and review. Our contributors help make AI work better in their language.

About this project

We’re looking for native speakers of Uyghur to help create audio data for speech technology in their language.

What you’ll do

You can sign up for one or both kinds of work:

Record audio. Speak naturally on everyday topics, on your own or in a conversation with another speaker. There’s no script. Recordings are 2 to 15 minutes each.

Transcribe audio. Listen to recordings and write out exactly what was said.

How it works

Fill out this short sign-up form. It takes just a few questions and works on your phone.

We’ll email you a short, unpaid sample test for recording, transcription or both.

Once you pass, you’ll complete onboarding: a contractor agreement, a background check and payment setup.

You’ll then get access to our platform and can start working.

Pay

You’re paid for each hour of approved audio you record or transcribe. Rates depend on your language and the type of work, and we’ll share yours before you start.

If someone from LILT is helping you sign up, they can answer any questions as you go.

What to Consider Before Applying

• Not ideal as a full time job or primary income source. Work availability fluctuates with project demand, making this better suited as a supplemental income stream. As a 1099 contractor, you won't receive benefits such as health insurance, paid time off, or retirement contributions, and hours are not guaranteed.

• Requires reliable availability and commitment. Once you accept a task, we expect quality work and on-time delivery. Most tasks require a minimum of 2 hours per day or 10 hours per week. If your schedule is unpredictable, this may not be the right fit.

• Geographic restrictions may apply. We cannot engage contractors in regions subject to international embargo or sanctions. As a 1099 contractor, you are solely responsible for your own tax obligations. We recommend consulting a tax professional before engaging.
