Job description

You’ll listen to audio and align spoken words to their exact position in the transcript — correcting boundaries, catching mis-transcriptions, and making sure every word lands where it belongs. The work is detail-heavy and quiet. If you like careful, focused tasks and have a good ear for language, it’s a strong fit. Fully remote and fully flexible. No fixed schedule and no minimum weekly commitment. You pick up tasks when they’re available and deliver against a deadline — mornings, nights, weekends, whatever works for you.

What you’ll be doing:

• Listening to audio and aligning each word in the transcript to where it’s actually spoken;
• Correcting timing boundaries, missing or extra words, and transcription errors;
• Applying detailed annotation guidelines consistently across large volumes of work;
• Flagging unclear audio, edge cases, and anything the guidelines don’t cover.

What you’ll need:

• A laptop or desktop computer. This work can’t be done on a phone or tablet;
• Headphones and a quiet environment. You’ll be listening closely to short segments of speech, often repeatedly;
• Strong English writing and comprehension. You should be comfortable reading detailed guidelines and picking up on subtle differences in wording;
• No prior annotation experience is required. Training and guidelines are provided.

Pay: Up to $17 to $31 per hour of audio output. Paid against delivery, with no minimum weekly commitment.
