• Annotate audio files or transcripts with relevant metadata and contextual notes as required.
• Collaborate with project managers and other experts to ensure consistency and quality across deliverables.
• Use transcription tools and platforms to process and submit work according to project requirements.
• Contribute linguistic and cultural insights to improve AI model understanding and performance.
Preferred Qualifications
• Native-level fluency in Japanese, with strong comprehension of both spoken and written language.
• Professional experience in audio transcription, linguistic review, localization, or related language work is strongly encouraged.
• Familiarity with transcription conventions, audio review workflows, annotation tools, or speech data projects is preferred.
• Keen attention to detail, accuracy, and the ability to recognize subtle language, pronunciation, or context differences in audio samples.
• Proficiency in English to follow project instructions and manage occasional English-language content.
• Previous participation in AI training data, data annotation, or language technology projects is a plus.
• Strong organizational skills and commitment to delivering high-quality, timely submissions.
