Job description

About The Role

What if your ear for Korean and obsession with precision could directly shape how AI understands spoken language? We're looking for detail-oriented Korean Audio Transcript Editors in the New York area - including the broader Korean-speaking community across the tri-state region - to clean up, correct, and polish audio transcripts, ensuring every word, timestamp, and formatting detail is exactly right.

This is hands-on, focused work that sits at the intersection of language, audio, and AI. You'll listen carefully, catch what automated systems miss, and deliver transcripts that meet exacting quality standards. If you thrive on precision and take pride in getting the details right, this role is for you.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed - just native-level Korean, strong listening skills, and comfort following detailed guidelines.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10-40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Listen to Korean audio recordings and review corresponding transcripts for accuracy
• Correct errors at the word level - including mistranscriptions, missing words, and incorrect spellings
• Verify and adjust precise timing and alignment of transcript segments
• Apply detailed style and formatting guidelines consistently across all tasks
• Flag audio quality issues, ambiguous speech, or content that requires special handling
• Maintain high accuracy and consistency across large volumes of transcript work
• Work independently and asynchronously - fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Native or near-native fluency in Korean - both written and spoken
• Excellent listening skills with the ability to parse natural, fast, or overlapping speech
• Meticulous attention to detail - you notice the small things others miss
• Comfortable working with word-level accuracy and exact timing requirements
• Able to follow detailed style guides and formatting rules with precision and consistency
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
• Comfortable using web-based tools and audio playback interfaces

Nice to Have

• Experience as a transcriptionist, court reporter, or stenographer
• Background in subtitle editing, closed-captioning, or media localization
• Training or experience in linguistics, phonetics, or Korean language studies
• Prior work with annotation platforms, data labeling tools, or AI training workflows
• Experience in quality assurance, proofreading, or editorial work
• Familiarity with audio editing software or transcript management tools

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
• Fully remote and flexible - work when and where it suits you
• Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
• Contribute to AI development that directly improves how technology understands Korean speech
