Freelance Translator Side Job - English &… at Toloka… · New York

This is a project-based opportunity on an AI training platform. No fixed hours, no commitment beyond what fits your schedule. You talk, you get paid.

About the Role

We're looking for bilingual speakers to record short, casual voice clips where they naturally mix English with Chinese - the way they'd actually talk in real life. No script, no scenarios, just you talking about your day, your opinions, whatever comes naturally.

Do you switch between English and Chinese mid-sentence without even thinking about it? Rant about your day, discuss your favorite show, think out loud with different languages - say it exactly how you'd say it to a friend. What if you could get paid just for recording it?

Responsibilities:

• Record 1-2 minute voice clips responding to a prompt or reacting to a short video
• Speak naturally, switching between English and Chinese the way you normally would in everyday conversation
• Complete a few clips per recording session

Requirements

• Language: Fully bilingual - fluent or native in both English and Chinese, and someone who naturally mixes the two when speaking
• Equipment: Any device works, including your phone - no studio or special equipment needed
• Recording environment: A quiet room with no background music, TV, traffic, or other people talking
• Audio quality: Clear voice, close to the mic, one speaker only, no echo. A headset or earbuds with a mic helps but isn't required
• Note: Quiet, clean audio matters most - background noise or unclear speech can affect approval

Why is this freelance opportunity a great fit for you?

• Get paid to talk - no perfect grammar, no formality: earn up to $30/hour depending on your pace and approval rate
• Do it from your couch, your phone, wherever's comfortable
• Flexible, from home, paid per approved recording
• If you naturally mix Chinese and English when you speak, you're exactly who we're looking for
