Arabic Video Recording Contributor – Project Keid (Remote)

A one-off remote freelance task for native Arabic speakers in Project Keid, recording a short video for research into distinguishing human-recorded from synthetic video.

Project and compensation

• Record one 15–20 second video in a single session, with an expected overall commitment of about one hour and an ASAP start.
• The advertised payment is USD 4–15 once, depending on the participant’s country. No Jordan-specific amount is stated.
• Jordan is among the eligible countries. This is remote, one-off freelance work rather than an ongoing full-time position.
• Videos will help train and evaluate a model that distinguishes human-recorded footage from synthetic video.

Eligibility and task

• Age 18 or above and a native Arabic speaker. A short dialect screening may be required before the submission is finalised.
• The title references Levantine and Iraqi Arabic, while the language details specify Levantine Arabic; dialect suitability is determined during screening.
• Speak naturally without a script, for example briefly introducing yourself or describing an interest, while looking directly into the camera throughout.
• After recording, answer brief questions such as age range, country and dialect to help organise the dataset.

Recording requirements

• Resolution of at least 1080p and duration of 15–20 seconds.
• Head-and-shoulders framing with the whole face centred and visible, good lighting without harsh shadows and a plain, neutral background.
• A relaxed, natural expression and clear speech without noise, music or echo.
• Portrait or landscape orientation is accepted, with steady footage; a quiet indoor environment is preferred.
• No filters, beauty modes, sunglasses, hats, hoods, face coverings, headphones or earbuds.
• No watermarks, stickers, borders, other people or pets in the frame.

Privacy and application

• Before participation, review the consent form explaining how the video and supplied information will be used, stored and shared.
• The employer may use automated tools to support application review and verification; final hiring decisions remain with people.
• Apply through the official project link.
