Paid AI Data Collection Opportunity - U.S. Only

We're looking for U.S.-based individuals to participate in a paid audio data-collection project for a commercial AI/ML dataset.

We're a legitimate, early-stage AI startup and a YC F26 company.

Requirements:

18+ years old
Currently based in the United States
No professional voice or recording experience required
Smartphone or computer with a working microphone
Able to record in a reasonably quiet environment
Comfortable speaking naturally in everyday situations

Project Details:

Time: ~3 hours of completed audio
Pay: $10-$25 USD per hour of completed audio
Location: Remote, U.S. only

We're specifically looking for regular everyday speakers, not professional voice actors. People with different ages, accents, backgrounds, and speaking styles are welcome.

Your recordings will be transcribed, annotated, processed, and may be licensed or sold as part of commercial AI/ML datasets.

Interested? Comment below or DM me and I'll share the application and project details.
