We are looking to find a skilled Child Speech Development Annotator to join our growing team.

You will annotate early-childhood speech recordings, focusing on developmental phonological processes, error patterns and intelligibility. These annotations support child-speech model training.

Responsibilities:

• Identify developmental processes such as fronting, stopping, assimilation or weak-syllable deletion

• Distinguish age-appropriate patterns from atypical ones

• Annotate intelligibility issues, consistency and error frequency

• Provide context notes when needed (e.g., noise, fatigue)

Requirements:

• Understanding of developmental phonology and early speech acquisition

• Ability to recognise child-specific articulation and prosody patterns

• Careful listening in variable-quality recordings

Background:

• Early childhood SLP or child speech therapy

• Experience assessing young children’s speech

Sample Test Task:

• Annotate phonological processes in a 90-second recording of a child naming pictures.

Compensation

• Per annotated minute or per child-speech dataset.
