micro1 is engaging English Language Experts (Nigeria) to contribute to an impactful customer project. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input.

Scope of Work

Listen to multi-speaker conversational audio recordings, identifying and tagging key speaker and audio metadata such as dialect, accent, audio quality, background noise, age, and speaking style.
Annotate and correct first-pass ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) transcripts, ensuring precise application of Nigerian English spelling, usage, and conventions.
Utilize your knowledge of Nigerian accents, shaped by the mother tongues and regional varieties across the country, including Yoruba-influenced English, Igbo-influenced English, Hausa-influenced English, Edo English, Ijaw English, Efik English, Tiv English, and Nigerian Pidgin-influenced English, to accurately identify and categorize dialectal features.
Apply your knowledge of Nigerian English vocabulary, idioms, slang, code-switching (such as English-Pidgin or English-Yoruba mixing), and spelling to enhance the linguistic accuracy of project data.

Preferred Qualifications

Fluent proficiency in Nigerian English, with demonstrated familiarity across multiple dialects and regional accents.
Background in language teaching, linguistics, transcription, editing, translation, journalism, or a related discipline.

Ability to distinguish subtle differences in Nigerian English pronunciation and vocabulary across regions and ethnic groups.
Experience working with audio data, metadata tagging, or transcription practices is beneficial.
Adaptable, detail-oriented, and able to manage complex annotation guidelines independently.
Interest in linguistic technology, AI training, or language data projects is a plus.
