About the work

Transcription for AI training is stricter than transcription for reading. Disfluencies, false starts, overlapping speech and code-switching all matter, because a cleaned-up transcript teaches a model that people speak more tidily than they do.

Corpshore runs transcription in languages that are poorly served by existing tools, which means a lot of this work is on audio no automated system handles well.

Corpshore runs annotation, evaluation and data collection for AI teams across 18+ countries in 35+ languages. Work is assigned by qualification and availability, not by location, and every task shows its rate before you reserve it.

What you would be doing

  • Transcribe audio to the project's convention, including disfluency handling
  • Tag speaker changes, overlaps and inaudible segments accurately
  • Mark code-switching where the project requires it
  • Keep timing accurate to the project tolerance

What we need from you

  • Native or near-native listening comprehension in the target language
  • Accurate, fast typing
  • A reliable internet connection and a device you can work on comfortably
  • Ability to follow a written rubric precisely, including its edge cases
  • Willingness to have your work reviewed, and to act on that review

Helpful, not required

  • Previous transcription or captioning experience
  • Familiarity with a specific accent or dialect region
  • Previous annotation, transcription, moderation or research experience
  • Comfort with spreadsheets or annotation tooling
  • A subject you know unusually well, whatever it is
