Italian - Audio Transcript Editor

Italian Audio Transcript Editor (AI Training)

About the Role

What if your ear for Italian and obsession with precision could directly shape how AI understands spoken language? We're looking for detail-oriented Italian Audio Transcript Editors to clean up, correct, and perfect audio transcripts — ensuring every word, timestamp, and formatting detail is exactly right.

This is hands-on, deeply focused work that sits at the intersection of language, audio, and AI. You'll listen carefully, compare what you hear against existing transcripts, and make word-level corrections that teach AI systems to process Italian speech with real accuracy. If you take pride in getting every syllable right, this role was made for you.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just native-level Italian, strong listening skills, and the discipline to follow detailed guidelines with consistency.

• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Listen to Italian audio recordings and compare them against existing transcripts
• Correct errors at the word level — fixing misspellings, missing words, incorrect punctuation, and misheard phrases
• Adjust and verify exact timing and alignment of transcript segments
• Follow detailed style and formatting guidelines with precision and consistency
• Flag audio quality issues, ambiguous speech, or segments requiring further review
• Maintain high accuracy and quality standards across large volumes of transcription tasks
