@fatimaali
Arabic linguist specializing in phonetics, prosody, and voice/data annotation.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced Arabic linguist with over seven years specializing in speech data annotation, phonetic and prosodic analysis, and linguistic QA for STT/TTS systems. I am a native Arabic speaker with expert-level fluency in MSA and regional dialects (Egyptian, Gulf, Saudi, Levantine) and a strong track record contributing to voice AI development.
I have evaluated articulation clarity, annotated vocal traits (breathiness, creakiness, disfluency), and delivered structured QA reports and annotation guidelines while collaborating remotely with engineers and researchers. I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Data Science and bring practical experience with CVAT, Labelbox, QA dashboards, Python (regex, NumPy, Pandas), and dialect-sensitive vocal analysis.
