Key Responsibilities

• Transcribe audio and video content accurately and phonetically in your assigned language.
• Review and perform quality checks on transcriptions completed by others to ensure linguistic accuracy and adherence to formatting and tagging guidelines.
• Develop assessments and training material to onboard and upskill new transcribers.
• Provide feedback and process improvements to ensure consistency and quality at scale.
• Collaborate with the US team to coordinate and align work priorities, timelines, and quality standards.

• Ability to maintain high accuracy under tight deadlines.
• Strong reviews/reputation on ProZ (preferred).

• Must be able to work 40 hrs/week.
• Experience with multimedia contents (video/audio transcriptions) and linguist QA.
