About Babel Audio

Babel Audio partners with leading technology companies to collect high-quality voice data that trains the next generation of AI. We work with thousands of participants worldwide to capture authentic human conversation, so that AI can better understand and communicate with humanity.

About the Role

In this role, you will have 15-minute recorded conversations in Swedish with another Swedish speaker. Each conversation is unscripted and based on an everyday topic we give you.

For example, you might talk about:

• Food
• Travel
• Music
• Family

There is no script and no acting. The focus is on having a clear, natural conversation from home: listening, responding, and building on each other's thoughts.

Every call needs two people online at the same time, so we match you with another speaker when you join. To start, calls run every day from 17:00 to 19:00 Sweden time (CET), and can only start during that window. We'll open more time slots depending on demand. Join during the window to get matched quickly.

This is a fully remote, freelance position.

Compensation

• $17.50 USD per recorded hour in Sweden (rates in other countries may be lower)
• Paid weekly
• Additional performance-based incentives may be available

Responsibilities

• Join 15-minute recorded conversations with a matched Swedish-speaking partner
• Talk naturally about the topic you're given
• Listen actively and respond with genuine interest
• Keep your audio clear and consistent throughout each call

About You

• Native or fluent Swedish as spoken in Sweden, excluding traditional dialects (regional accents are fine)
• At least 18 years old
• Comfortable talking to new people
• Reliable and able to follow guidelines
• You have headphones or earphones and a quiet place to record (see Technical Requirements below)

We want a wide mix of voices. People of every age (18 and over), gender and background are welcome.

Technical Requirements

• Clear and consistent voice quality
• A laptop or desktop computer (no mobile devices, smartphones or tablets)
• Stable internet connection capable of supporting smooth calls
• No VPN or proxy during calls
• Headphones: headphones or earphones required, wired recommended so your partner's voice is not picked up by your microphone (no speakers)
• Environment: quiet, no background noise (no noticeable echo). A quiet room at home works well.
• When you apply, you'll make a short recording so we can check your pronunciation and audio setup

Nice to have:

• External microphone (USB preferred, or XLR)
• Pop filter or foam windscreen
