1. Role Overview

You will transcribe 2-speaker, channel-separated audio recordings in Albanian. Each file has two clearly separated speakers. Your job is to produce a clean, accurate, sequentially ordered transcript with speaker labels and timestamps.

2. What You Will Do

• Listen to 2-speaker audio recordings in Albanian
• Type out what each speaker says, accurately and in full
• Label each speaker turn as Speaker 1 or Speaker 2, matching the audio channel
• Add timestamps at the start of each speaker turn (format: HH:MM:SS)
• Ensure transcripts are sequential with no unexplained gaps

3. Requirements

• Strong written Albanian — accurate spelling, punctuation, and grammar
• Ability to work independently and meet daily output targets
• Access to a computer with a stable internet connection
• Availability for at least 4 hours per day
• Prior transcription experience is a plus but not required — all contributors must pass a qualification test

4. Quality Standard

• Word Error Rate (WER) of 5% or less on all delivered transcripts
• Zero speaker label errors — Speaker 1 must always correspond to Channel 1
• Transcripts reviewed on a rolling basis; feedback provided promptly
• Files that do not meet the quality threshold will be returned for correction
