Silencio Voice AI is recruiting speakers for dozens of underrepresented languages (up to from $2 to $20/hour on eligible campaigns)
I've come across an AI data collection platform that works a bit differently from companies like Outlier or Alignerr, so I thought it might be useful to share.
Silencio runs voice data collection projects to help train speech AI models. Depending on the campaign, eligible contributors can earn up to $20/hour in USDC, while some campaigns also include additional rewards through the platform's ecosystem.
What really caught my attention is the number of underrepresented languages they're actively recruiting.
Some current campaigns include:
- Welsh
- Scottish Gaelic
- Irish
- Sardinian
- Basque
- Breton
- Galician
- Upper Sorbian
- Western Frisian
- Toki Pona
- Inuktitut
- Yakut
- Chuvash
- Bashkir
- Tatar
- Nahua Zacatlán
- Kabyle
- Wolof
- Yoruba
- Hausa
- Igbo
- Oromo
- Amharic
- Sepedi
- Southern Sotho
...along with more common languages like English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Korean, Vietnamese and many others.
If you speak a language that rarely appears on AI training platforms, this is probably one of the more interesting opportunities I've seen recently.
I put together a page explaining how it works (including my referral link if you decide to join):
