Sobre

**Description:** We are looking for a **native Brazilian Portuguese speaker** — ideally from **São Paulo** — to **proofread and localize a script** so that it reflects **authentic São Paulo Portuguese** as spoken in daily life. The goal is to ensure the language sounds **natural, modern, and friendly**, just like locals actually speak in São Paulo. The script will be **read aloud by a local voice actor** and recorded to **train a voice AI model**, so your edits will directly shape how the AI “sounds” to native listeners. --- ### **Responsibilities** * Review the provided Portuguese script for **tone, fluency, and authenticity**. * Identify and correct **unnatural, overly formal, or literal translations**. * Adapt vocabulary and phrasing to reflect **common São Paulo expressions and rhythm**. * **Ensure contractions, filler words, and local phrasing** (e.g., “tá bom”, “beleza”, “peraí”) are used appropriately to sound conversational. * **Ensure numerical expressions are localized for spoken Brazilian Portuguese**, including: * Writing out numbers in **words when spoken naturally** (e.g., “25” → “vinte e cinco”, “R$1.000” → “mil reais”). * Converting **units and dates** to natural phrasing (e.g., “5 km” → “cinco quilômetros”, “12/10” → “doze de outubro”). * Provide **inline comments** explaining each change (e.g., “too formal,” “not natural in São Paulo dialect,” “add filler for casual tone”). * Highlight or track all modified phrases for reference. --- ### **Requirements** * Native-level fluency in **Brazilian Portuguese**, preferably São Paulo regional dialect. * Strong grasp of **local slang, idioms, and natural speech flow**. * Experience in **translation, localization, or script editing**. * Ability to provide **concise commentary** for each edit to support AI prompt refinement. --- ### **Nice to Have** * Experience with **voiceover or dubbing scripts**. * Linguistics or creative writing background. --- ### **Project Details** * Length: ~25,000 words (58 pages). * Timeline: 1 week * Deliverables: 1. Revised São Paulo–style Portuguese script. 2. Inline comments summarizing reasons for each change. 3. Brief summary of language patterns noted (to inform future LLM prompt improvements). --- ### **Example Commentary Types** * “Overly formal phrasing — replaced with everyday São Paulo tone.” * “Literal translation — rephrased to sound natural.” * “Added ‘né’ at the end for conversational friendliness.” * “Changed number format to words (‘25’ → ‘vinte e cinco’).” * “Too regional (Rio expression) — replaced with São Paulo equivalent.” --- ### **Why This Matters** Your edits will help our AI model **speak like a real Paulista** — warm, modern, and natural to local listeners. --- Budget: Please propose a budget
