Project kickoff: Monday, October 19th
You’ll need: A quiet room with no background noise, a reliable internet connection, and a smartphone or computer that can record clear audio
Your tasks: Read provided English text aloud, record it following detailed guidelines, and submit clean audio files
micro1 is engaging native and near-native English speakers for a read-aloud speech recording project. The work is straightforward: you’ll be given English text, you read it aloud following clear guidelines, and you submit the recording. Your voice helps train next-generation AI speech systems. No prior AI experience is required — clear speech and careful attention to instructions are what matter.
Scope of Work
- Read provided English prompts aloud, accurately and naturally, following the pronunciation and pacing guidelines.
- Follow the instructions for each prompt exactly — including reading answer choices when the task asks for it — without adding your own responses or interpretations.
- Record and submit clear audio files using the tools or platform provided.
- Keep your delivery consistent across sessions: same clarity, same enunciation, same pace.
- Re-record and resubmit when a take doesn’t meet the quality standard.
- Flag prompts that are unclear, ambiguous, or have technical problems instead of guessing how to read them.
- Stay in touch with project coordinators to align on quality expectations.
