Italian - Audio Transcript Editor

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.

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

What You'll Do

• 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
