Toptal: Narrator - Videos for Data Collection Project, AI training

<p> <strong>Headquarters:</strong> </p> <h3>About the Client</h3><p>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.</p><h3>Sub-areas for the videos</h3><ul><li><strong>Home &amp; Daily Tasks:</strong> cleaning; laundry (sorting, folding); organizing a closet; house tours; pet care; packing luggage; loading appliances / dishwashing</li><li><strong>Repairs &amp; DIY:</strong> home repair; gardening / farming; furniture assembly; woodworking; plumbing; electrical work; bicycle maintenance; soldering electronics</li><li><strong>Textile &amp; Craft Arts:</strong> sewing; knitting; crocheting; using a loom; leathercrafting; bookbinding; crafting jewelry; pottery / ceramics</li><li><strong>Professional Trades &amp; Industrial:</strong> automotive repair / maintenance; warehousing / logistics; construction / woodworking; laboratory work; operating heavy machinery controls; assembly-line packaging</li><li><strong>Hobbies &amp; Arts:</strong> art – drawing; art – ceramics; art – painting; playing instruments; model building; outdoor survival / camping; calligraphy</li><li><strong>Technology &amp; Computing:</strong> using computers or devices (e.g. audio mixers); gaming; product demos; VR / AR interaction; 3D printer setup / maintenance</li><li><strong>Outdoors &amp; Activity:</strong> city tours; shopping; navigating public transit</li><li><strong>Personal Care:</strong> haircut; applying makeup; detailed grooming routines</li><li><strong>Specialized &amp; Professional:</strong> medical procedures; first aid training; professional barista workflows; culinary chef / knife work; lab protocols (pipetting, titrations)</li></ul><h3>About the Role - Narrator</h3><p>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.
