Audio Transcript Editor — Portuguese Brasileiro (AI Training)

About the Role

What if your sharp ears and precision with language could directly improve how AI understands spoken Portuguese? We're looking for detail-oriented Audio Transcript Editors based in São Paulo and across Brazil to review, clean up, and correct machine-generated audio transcripts in Brazilian Portuguese — 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. If you've ever worked in transcription, subtitling, closed captioning, court reporting, or linguistics — or if you simply have an exceptional ear and love getting the details right — this role was made for you.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just native-level Brazilian Portuguese, strong listening skills, and comfort following detailed style and formatting guidelines.

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

What You'll Do

• Listen to audio recordings and compare them against existing transcripts in Brazilian Portuguese
• Identify and correct errors in transcription — including misspelled words, missing words, incorrect words, and punctuation issues
• Ensure word-level accuracy and verify that timestamps and timing alignments are precise
• Apply detailed style and formatting guidelines consistently across all tasks
• Flag sections with unclear audio, overlapping speakers, or other quality issues
• Maintain high accuracy and consistency across large volumes of transcript data
• Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Native Brazilian Portuguese speaker with an excellent command of written Portuguese
• Strong listening skills — you can parse spoken language accurately, even when audio quality varies
• Exceptionally detail-oriented with a patient, methodical approach to work
• Comfortable working at the word level — you care about every accent, comma, and timestamp
• 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

• Background in subtitling, closed captioning, or subtitle editing
• Linguistics training or a degree in language-related fields
• Prior work with annotation platforms, data labeling tools, or AI training workflows
