Audio Transcription Specialist (Korean)

The Work

You will listen to short Korean recordings and create clean, standardized transcripts that accurately reflect what was said. This is transcription work, not translation or creative writing.

You will also complete simple listening-based checks and labeling tasks using predefined options. Accuracy, consistency, and careful judgment matter more than speed.

• Transcribe short Korean audio recordings.
• Follow detailed transcription rules consistently.
• Flag unclear or unusable audio.
• Mark segments that cannot be understood with confidence.
• Review your work for accurate written Korean.
