Job description

We're hiring freelance AI data annotators for Chinese transcription work. You'll listen to audio and analyze the transcript based on guidelines — writing in lowercase, adding appropriate tags for filled pauses and backchannels, catching mis-transcriptions, and making sure every word is transcribed correctly. 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. Flexibility to work at any time, anywhere.

What you'll be doing

• Listening to audio and checking the transcript against what's actually spoken.
• Correcting 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 Chinese 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

$45 per hour of audio transcribed (output).

Listed rate: $45/audio hour.
