Voice Recorder (Korean + English)

What you'll do

Of micro1's three voice recorder listings, this Korean one has the broadest scope. You record yourself reading sentences in Korean from a stationary car or a quiet office, and when asked you add specific background sounds, such as seatbelt clicks or a window moving, always with the car parked. That in-car focus points to data for voice assistants that have to work over real cabin noise.

On top of recording, you listen to audio clips and transcribe or evaluate Korean content, then review and annotate audio data to the project's guidelines. The ad asks for naturalness in both written and spoken Korean, which in practice means handling speech levels correctly (a polite -yo ending where the script calls for it, not a stiff formal -mnida everywhere) and noticing when a clip sounds read rather than spoken.

Submissions (recordings and written feedback) go through the project platform. The ad states plainly that recordings may be retained for ongoing research and system improvement, so treat your voice as a long-lived part of the dataset.

Who fits

• Native-level Korean, able to explain complex ideas in speech and in writing
• English at B2 or above, to follow instructions and give basic feedback in English
• Attention to audio quality, linguistic accuracy and annotation detail
• Reliable independent work against deadlines
• Comfort with digital platforms and audio tools
• A commitment to privacy and ethical data handling

No studio equipment or professional recording experience is listed. These are preferred qualifications; no AI experience is needed. Access to a car you can record in while parked is effectively required.

What it pays

$20–65/hour, micro1's published band. Its ceiling matches the German + English and Japanese + English listings, but the floor is $10 lower, despite this one carrying the most duties of the three. The listing is tagged full-time, while the formal role type is contractor; no weekly hours are stated. The ad does not explain placement, and no payment schedule is published.

Worth knowing

Good:

• The widest mix of work among micro1's voice recorder roles: recording, transcription, evaluation and annotation
• No studio equipment or professional background required
• 80 openings and a "High demand" tag
• No country restriction stated

Less good:

• The lowest floor of the three voice recorder listings, and a 3x-plus spread with no published basis for placement
• Recordings may be retained for ongoing research, per the ad
• A car is effectively required for the in-car sessions
• "Full-time" tag without stated hours; confirm what commitment is expected
• Contractor engagement: no benefits, your own tax to manage
• The customer is not named
