Eligibility
Native Chichewa/Nyanja speaker in Zambia with good headphones, a quiet space and 20 to 30 hours a week for two to three months.

About this opportunity

LILT's speech project works from existing Chichewa/Nyanja recordings, so no recording is needed. You'll tag personal information and background sounds and correct machine-made transcripts against the audio. It runs for about two to three months at 20 to 30 hours a week. This is the Zambia posting of a project also open in Malawi. Pay isn't stated.
