About the role A flexible way to earn extra income from home. We are looking for detail-oriented English speakers in Australia to transcribe and annotate long-form podcast recordings (30-60+ minutes) on a large-scale AI speech project. This is freelance, task-based project work - not employment - with no minimum commitment: you choose how much you work from the available tasks. Paid USD $17.00 per hour.

What you will do

- Transcribe long-form podcast recordings accurately, following project guidelines
- Identify different speakers and assign consistent speaker labels with accurate timestamps
- Mark speaker turn boundaries and segment the audio
- Record the perceived gender of each speaker
- Flag audio issues: unclear or distorted speech, strong accents, wrong language, synthetic or AI-generated audio
- Verify and correct pre-annotated segments when required
- Deliver work that meets the project's quality standards (all work is quality-reviewed)

What we are looking for

- English at native-level fluency
- Currently living in Australia (required)
- Robust listening comprehension and close attention to detail




- Experience transcribing long audio files preferred

Pay and workload

- USD $17.00 per hour, paid in USD; billable time is tracked on the task platform
- Freelance, task-based work that fits around study, family, or another job
- Tasks are released weekly on a first-come, first-served basis; volume varies by week
- Work as much or as little as you want, up to 10 billable hours per day
- Typical task unit is a full podcast episode - plan for long, focused listening sessions

What you will need

- Desktop or laptop computer with headphones
- Reliable internet connection and a quiet workspace

Integrity All transcription must be done manually. The use of automatic speech recognition or AI transcription tools is strictly prohibited and is detected during quality review.
