Modern Standard Arabic Audio Checking and Proofreading

Posted 5 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

Hey there! We are looking for a native Arabic speaker who is fluent in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA / Fusha) to help us review some AI-generated TTS (Text-to-Speech) dialogs. (Preference will be given to candidates based in or originating from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and other Gulf/Levantine regions). The Project We have an Excel file containing around 2,550 lines of dialog, which adds up to roughly 3 hours of audio. Your job will be to listen to the generated audio files while following along in the spreadsheet. Your Responsibilities For each line, you will need to verify three main things: Natural Language & Grammar: Is the written and spoken text grammatically correct and natural-sounding Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha)? Audio-Text Match: Does the spoken audio accurately match the text written in the Excel sheet (including proper diacritics/vocalization where applicable)? Audio Quality: Does the audio sound natural and clear? You will need to flag it if it's hard to understand, contains weird background sounds, gets cut off early, or has unnatural pronunciation, awkward pauses, or incorrect stress/intonation. How to Report Issues You will be working directly in our provided Excel file. Here is how you need to log any problems: Text/Grammar Errors: If the written Arabic is incorrect, unnatural, or uses colloquial dialect rather than proper MSA, note it in the "Comment" column and write out a full, corrected line in the "Corrected Text" column. (Important: Please write the entire new sentence, not just the fixed word). Audio Mismatches or Weird Audio: If the audio does not fit the text perfectly, mispronounces MSA rules, or has any of the audio quality issues mentioned above, you must flag it in the "needs new audio" column so we know to regenerate it. Requirements Native Arabic speaker with excellent mastery of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) grammar, syntax, and standard pronunciation rules. Strong preference for candidates from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, or surrounding regions (known for clear MSA alignment and strong regional linguistic standards). A great ear for audio quality, proper diacritics (Tashkeel), natural intonation, and fluent MSA delivery. Strong attention to detail to keep track of 2,500+ files. Comfortable navigating and editing Excel spreadsheets. We forecast less than 10% of needed correction. If more than 20% needs correction, we will include a bonus.
