Indian English - AI Voice Data Collection Project

Arctic Engines, a subsidiary of the Apna Group, is an enterprise‑grade AI human data operations company that powers the training pipelines of frontier AI models. Backed by marquee investors such as Lightspeed, Tiger Global, Insight Partners and Peak XV, the firm leverages Apna’s massive 60M+ workforce to deliver high‑quality training data at unmatched scale and speed. The company’s core focus areas include high‑quality data annotation, reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), and continuous human‑in‑the‑loop feedback loops that help AI systems become more reliable, safe, and conversationally adept. The role is a remote, one‑time voice‑recording assignment designed to enrich AI speech and conversational models. Candidates will engage in natural, unscripted dialogues with an AI‑powered conversational bot across a wide range of topics such as travel, finance, retail, healthcare, telecom, and education. Unlike scripted read‑aloud tasks, this project demands spontaneous, detailed, and confident speaking, mirroring real‑world human‑AI interactions. Successful participants will complete roughly two hours of recording, broken into short 10‑minute sessions, and will be compensated at Rs. 500 per hour, with a maximum payout of Rs. 1000. **Key Responsibilities** 1. Record a 2‑minute audition sample in a quiet environment to demonstrate fluency and voice quality. 2. Upon selection, complete two hours of conversational voice recording from home. 3. Interact naturally with an AI bot, allowing the bot to guide the conversation while you speak for about 70% of the time. 4. Provide detailed, spontaneous responses that are clear, well‑pronounced, and contextually relevant. 5. Follow strict guidelines on natural speaking style, pronunciation, conversational flow, and response length. 6. Re‑record any sections flagged for quality or technical issues. 7. Sign a Non‑Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before the final recording session. 8. Ensure a stable internet connection and use a good‑quality microphone or headset. 9. Maintain a quiet, controlled recording environment throughout the project. 10. Submit recordings within the stipulated timelines and adhere to all project instructions. **Tech Stack & Tools**: The project utilizes a proprietary AI conversational platform, standard audio recording software (e.g., Audacity or built‑in OS recorders), and secure cloud storage for data upload. Participants need only a reliable computer, internet, and a quality microphone. **Growth Path & Why Join**: While this is a short‑term gig, it offers a unique entry point into the rapidly expanding AI data ecosystem. Participants gain hands‑on experience with cutting‑edge conversational AI, enhance their voice‑over portfolio, and can leverage this experience for future roles in AI data collection, speech technology, or remote content creation. Working with Arctic Engines also provides exposure to a high‑growth unicorn environment, networking opportunities with AI professionals, and the flexibility to earn from home. Joining this project means contributing directly to the next generation of AI assistants, improving how machines understand and respond to human speech, and earning while working from the comfort of your own space.
