About The Role

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 Warsaw area to clean up, correct, and polish audio transcripts — ensuring every word, timestamp, and formatting detail is exactly right.

About The Role

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 Warsaw area to clean up, correct, and polish audio transcripts — ensuring every word, timestamp, and formatting detail is exactly right.

Poland has a large and growing community of German-fluent professionals — from those who have lived or worked in German-speaking countries to academics, translators, and business professionals with native-level command of the language. If you have a strong ear for spoken German and a passion for precision, this role is a natural fit.

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

• Verify and adjust precise timing and alignment of transcript segments
• Apply detailed style and formatting guidelines consistently across all tasks
• Flag audio segments that are unclear, overlapping, or otherwise challenging
• Ensure proper handling of dialect, colloquial speech, filler words, and non-standard language as directed by project guidelines
• Maintain high quality and consistency across large volumes of transcript work
• Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Native or near-native German speaker — whether through upbringing, long-term residence in a German-speaking country, or advanced professional fluency
• Excellent ear for spoken German across accents and registers
• Exceptionally detail-oriented — you notice the small things others miss
• Comfortable working with word-level accuracy and exact timing
• Able to follow detailed style and formatting guidelines precisely and consistently
• Strong listening skills and the patience to replay and verify audio carefully
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
• Comfortable using web-based tools and audio playback interfaces

Nice to Have

• Experience as a transcriptionist, translator, or language quality specialist
• Background in subtitle editing, closed-captioning, or audio post-production
• Linguistics training or academic background in German language studies
• Prior work with annotation platforms, data labeling tools, or AI training projects
• Familiarity with transcription software or audio editing tools
• Experience following structured editorial or quality assurance guidelines
