Audio Recording Project 293 – Native Speakers Needed

DCP Global is recruiting native speakers for a large-scale audio data collection project on behalf of our client. This initiative supports multilingual AI development and requires authentic, unscripted conversations across a range of professional domains.

Project Overview
Participants will record natural conversations in pairs, covering one of the following domains:

  • Healthcare (e.g., doctor-patient, therapist-patient)
  • Call Center (e.g., telecom, banking, insurance)
  • Meetings (e.g., employee meetings, teacher-student, sales)

No scripts will be provided. Instead, you’ll receive a list of approved topics and prepare your own talking points. The goal is to capture realistic, flowing dialogue between two native speakers.

Requirements

  • Native speaker of one of the target locales listed below
  • Aged 18 or older
  • Comfortable discussing professional topics in your language
  • Able to record with a partner (we can help match you if needed)
  • Access to a quiet environment and stereo recording setup (two-channel audio)
  • Willing to follow detailed instructions and submit metadata
