About the Client

Our client is involved in an innovative data-collection project, which focuses on creating video datasets for training AI models. These AI models are designed to learn from first-person (POV) video footage. The captured videos depict real people involved in hands-on tasks with a mounted phone on their head or chest, paired with spoken narration. The purpose is to enable the model to connect visual inputs (objects, hands, actions) with audio descriptions.

Sub-areas for the videos

  • Home & Daily Tasks: cleaning; laundry (sorting, folding); organizing a closet; house tours; pet care; packing luggage; loading appliances / dishwashing
  • Repairs & DIY: home repair; gardening / farming; furniture assembly; woodworking; plumbing; electrical work; bicycle maintenance; soldering electronics
  • Textile & Craft Arts: sewing; knitting; crocheting; using a loom; leathercrafting; bookbinding; crafting jewelry; pottery / ceramics
  • Professional Trades & Industrial: automotive repair / maintenance; warehousing / logistics; construction / woodworking; laboratory work; operating heavy machinery controls; assembly-line packaging
  • Hobbies & Arts: art – drawing; art – ceramics; art – painting; playing instruments; model building; outdoor survival / camping; calligraphy
  • Technology & Computing: using computers or devices (e.g. audio mixers); gaming; product demos; VR / AR interaction; 3D printer setup / maintenance
  • Outdoors & Activity: city tours; shopping; navigating public transit
  • Personal Care: haircut; applying makeup; detailed grooming routines
  • Specialized & Professional: medical procedures; first aid training; professional barista workflows; culinary chef / knife work; lab protocols (pipetting, titrations)

About the Role - Narrator

Watches the POV video and describes the scene and task in first person, in English, as if explaining it to a model that can't see. Fluency and describing ability matter most; knowing the activity is not required.

  • Deliverable — audio narration synced to the video, recorded after the footage
  • Language — English; fluency is criterion #1
  • Density — at least 25 words/min on average, no long silences
  • Content — 90%+ about the setting or task steps

Required Skills

  • English fluency
  • Ability to narrate pre-recorded videos
  • All details on the Acceptance Criteria will be shared prior to the work.

Rules

  • No personal data on video — third-party faces, screens, documents, plates, addresses, mirror reflections.
  • 100% human narration — no TTS or synthetic voice.

Engagement Details

  • Compensation model: Hourly paid, considering the total number of hours for approved videos.
  • Commitment Type: Flexible hours based on video submissions.
  • Duration: Ongoing, with earnings based on the number of approved videos.
  • Location: Remote, with flexible overlap with client's timezone.
  • Start Date: Immediate start upon approval of test video.
