Audio Transcription Specialist
Job Description
Produce accurate transcripts and language annotations in a language you know deeply.
What you will do
• Transcribe speech and relevant video or written material, retaining meaning, speaker distinctions, dialect and cultural context.
• Proofread human or machine transcripts and correct grammar, formatting, omissions and misleading interpretations.
• Add timestamps, speaker labels, segment boundaries and contextual metadata where requested.
• Flag unclear audio and explain language-specific issues rather than inventing a reading.
• Handle recordings confidentially and help refine transcription conventions and review guidance.
Required background
• For bilingual Japanese/English transcription: native or near-native Japanese, strong English, relevant transcription/translation experience, and fluency with transcription and collaboration tools.
• That bilingual work also calls for accurate written and spoken communication, independent organization and reliable delivery.
Preferred background
• Native or near-native command of one relevant language and practical transcription, translation, captioning or linguistic-review experience.
• Available languages include Punjabi, Dutch, Norwegian, Japanese, Cantonese, Finnish, Urdu, Korean, Bengali, Mandarin, Portuguese, Tamil, Danish, Swiss German, Telugu, Gujarati and German.
• Dialect and cultural knowledge, careful proofreading and experience with audio or annotation tools.
• English is useful or preferred for the Dutch, Cantonese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Tamil, Japanese and Swiss German work that includes English material or instructions; Cantonese work benefits from traditional and simplified Chinese typing.
• AI-data experience is helpful, but not a general prerequisite; bilingual Japanese work also welcomes technical terminology and language-study experience.
Location and eligibility
• Remote work; country restrictions are not stated.
Availability
• Hours and duration are agreed before work; no fixed commitment is stated.
