Job description

Italian Audio Transcript Editor (AI Training)

About The Role

Melbourne is home to one of the most vibrant Italian-speaking communities outside of Italy. If your Italian is at a native or near-native level and you have a sharp ear for detail, we have meaningful remote work for you.

We're looking for Italian Audio Transcript Editors to clean up, correct, and perfect audio transcripts — making the precise, word-level corrections that help AI systems learn to understand spoken Italian accurately. You'll listen to recordings, compare them against existing transcripts, and apply detailed guidelines to fix every error you find.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI or tech background needed — just native-level Italian, strong listening skills, and a methodical approach to careful work.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Listen to Italian audio recordings and compare them against existing transcripts
• Correct errors at the word level — fixing misspellings, missing words, incorrect punctuation, and misheard phrases
• Adjust and verify exact timing and alignment of transcript segments
• Follow detailed style and formatting guidelines with precision and consistency
• Flag audio quality issues, ambiguous speech, or segments requiring further review
• Maintain high accuracy and quality standards across large volumes of transcription tasks
• Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Native or near-native fluency in Italian — you catch nuances, dialects, and colloquialisms that others miss
• Excellent listening skills with the patience to replay and verify difficult audio passages
• Extremely detail-oriented — you care about getting every word, space, and timestamp right
• Comfortable following structured, detailed formatting and style guidelines
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently through repetitive, precision-focused tasks
• Proficient with computer-based tools and comfortable navigating web-based platforms

Nice to Have

• Experience as a transcriptionist, court reporter, or stenographer
• Background in subtitle editing, closed-captioning, or audio post-production
• Training or experience in linguistics, phonetics, or language annotation
• Prior work with annotation platforms, data labeling tools, or AI training workflows
• Familiarity with Italian regional dialects — including those common in the italo-Australian community
• Experience in translation, localization, or editorial work

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
• Contribute to AI development that directly improves how technology processes and understands spoken Italian
• Develop and sharpen highly marketable transcription and annotation skills
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
