Korean Transcription & Data Annotation Specialist

Mercor; Wien; Remote; EUR 32.000 - 54.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Mercor is seeking a meticulous Korean-language annotator to build structured maps of pages, bound every region, and transcribe Hangul with high fidelity. You will verify layout and language, then link regions to their corresponding elements while flagging unreadable sections.

You’ll also capture metadata and participate in peer reviews to ensure top-quality data. The role requires native Korean proficiency, experience in bilingual transcription or editorial work, and a systematic, exact approach

Qualifikationen

• You are a native Korean speaker with full command of Hangul, including hanja where it appears in older or formal documents.
• You have worked in bilingual transcription, translation, editorial work, or AI training data, ideally with reviewer experience.
• You are exact: character-level accuracy matters more here than speed, and a single wrong jamo is a defect.
• You are systematic: you apply a taxonomy consistently across hundreds of pages rather than improvising per document.
• You are comfortable with unfamiliar layouts: multi-column newspapers, exam papers, handwritten forms.

Aufgaben

• Open and check a task: pages are provided, so you do not source documents yourself. We find the PDFs and upload them for you. Before annotating, confirm the page is in Korean, is legible, has real content, and shows no personal details.
• Annotate structure: identify and bound every meaningful region of the page - document title, section heading, paragraph, list, table, figure, diagram, caption, formula, question, answer field - and assign each a component type and a reading-order index
• Record relationships: link each region to the figure or table it belongs to through a parent component identifier
• Transcribe faithfully: reproduce all text exactly as it appears in Hangul, including any hanja and handwritten content, flagging any region where the source is not legible
• Capture page metadata: language, document type, source, page dimensions, and flags for tables, formulas and handwriting
• Review a colleague's work: every task is reviewed end to end by a second Korean expert, and experienced annotators take on that review
