Senior Japanese PDF Annotation Specialist for Complex Pages

Mercor; Wien; Vor Ort; EUR 28.000 - 36.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Mercor is seeking a native Japanese speaker for a data annotation role focused on high-accuracy transcription and structure annotation of Japanese documents. You will handle multilayered pages with kanji, kana, furigana, and handwriting, ensuring precise reading order and metadata capture.

Work involves locating publicly accessible Japanese PDFs, annotating regions, linking to related figures or tables, and undergoing rigorous second-expert review to ensure quality and diversity in the corpus.

Qualifikationen

• Native Japanese speaker with full command of kanji, hiragana and katakana, including furigana and variant character forms
• Professional experience in interpretation, journalism, transcription, translation, editorial work, or comparable document-intensive work
• Extreme accuracy: character-level precision matters and a single wrong character is a defect
• Systematic approach with consistent taxonomy across hundreds of pages
• Comfort with unfamiliar layouts: vertical text, multi-column documents, handwritten forms

Aufgaben

• Source documents: find a publicly accessible Japanese PDF in an assigned document type, containing at least one multimodal element, and record where you obtained it
• Annotate structure: identify and bound every meaningful region of the page and assign a component type and 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, including kanji, hiragana, katakana, furigana and handwritten content
• Capture page metadata: language, document type, source, page dimensions, and flags for tables, formulas and handwriting
• Review a colleague's work: pass second-expert review on first submission
