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.

Preferred Qualifications

• Native or near-native English speaker, with clear and natural spoken delivery.
• Able to read written text aloud smoothly, without stumbling or flattening it into a monotone.
• Strong attention to detail and the discipline to follow instructions exactly, every time.
• Access to a consistently quiet space for recording.
• Reliable internet connection.
• Comfortable working independently and submitting on schedule.
• Experience with voice work, audiobook narration, voiceover, or audio recording tools is a plus, but not required.
