About the role
Audio Transcript Editor — Brazilian Portuguese (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.
