Position: PDF Annotation & Transcription Experts - Bengali
Type: Contract
Compensation: $13/hour
Location: Remote
Role Responsibilities
- Source documents: find a publicly accessible Bengali PDF in an assigned document type, containing at least one multimodal element (images, tables, diagrams, or handwriting), and record where you obtained it.
- Annotate structure: identify and bound every meaningful region of the page - document title, section heading, paragraph, list, table, figure, diagram, caption, formula, question, answer field - and assign each a component type and a reading-order index.
- Record relationships: link each region to the figure or table it belongs to through a parent component identifier.
- Transcribe faithfully: reproduce all text exactly as it appears in Bengali script,
including handwritten content, flagging any region where the source is not legible.
- Capture page metadata: language, document type, source, page dimensions, and flags for tables, formulas, and handwriting.
- Review a colleague's work: every task is reviewed end to end by a second Bengali expert, and experienced annotators take on that review.
Qualifications

- Exact character-level accuracy; a single wrong diacritic is a defect.
- Systematic application of a taxonomy across hundreds of pages.
- Comfort with unfamiliar layouts: multi-column newspapers, exam papers, handwritten forms.
Preferred
- Regional-language AI data: annotation, labeling, grading,
