German Audio Transcript Editor – Vienna (AI Training)

What if your ear for the German language could directly shape how AI understands and transcribes spoken words for millions of people? We're looking for detail-oriented German-speaking Transcript Editors in the Vienna area to clean up, correct, and polish audio transcripts — ensuring every word, timestamp, and formatting detail is exactly right.

This is precision work that makes a real difference. You'll listen carefully to audio recordings, compare them against existing transcripts, and make word-level corrections that help AI systems learn to hear and transcribe German with greater accuracy. Austrian German speakers are especially welcome — your familiarity with regional accents, vocabulary, and phrasing adds unique value to this work.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just native-level German, strong listening skills, and a commitment to accuracy.
