About the Role

We are seeking skilled French transcribers to join a contract-based team working on a large-scale phonetic transcription project. You will work with high volumes of recorded French speech and transcribe each utterance using the ARPABET phoneme set. This work requires more than standard transcription—it demands linguistic precision and a strong understanding of how spoken language differs from written text.

This is a fully remote, project-based role with consistent weekly hours. The project will begin with a short paid pilot, and high-performing candidates will be invited to continue long-term.

Key Responsibilities
* Transcribe batches of French audio using ARPABET phonemic notation
* Identify pronunciation patterns, reading errors, hesitations, and speech disfluencies
* Ensure annotations are consistent, accurate, and aligned with provided guidelines
* Collaborate with a quality assurance team to meet performance benchmarks

Why Join This Project?

You'll be contributing to the foundation of real-world AI products—training speech recognition models to understand how people actually speak. It’s a chance to work on linguistically rich material, apply specialized phonetic knowledge, and collaborate with a global network of language professionals.
