Tamil Specialist
About this role
Overview Tamil catches AI on its split between everyday spoken forms and formal literary Tamil: the model mixes the two, producing text no one would say aloud or write in earnest. Its honorifics land unevenly and its script handling can slip, and a native speaker is who hears where it goes wrong. As a Tamil Expert, you'll judge and correct AI output in Tamil, teaching models to keep spoken and formal registers where they belong. What you’ll actually do - Review translations between English and Tamil for meaning, flow, and the right register. - Score and rank model output in Tamil, catching mixed spoken and literary forms and misused honorifics. - Write the better version when the model falls short, natural in whichever register the context calls for. Roles this fits Common backgrounds: Tamil Linguist, Bilingual Reviewer, Localization Specialist. What we look for - Native or near-native fluency in Tamil. - A feel for the split between spoken and formal Tamil. - Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal. - No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it. How it works Apply Qualify Work & get paid Compensation Up to $40/hr depending on task difficulty and specialization.
