We are seeking experienced Word Alignment Specialists - Annotators for a current remote audio annotation project. Freelancers will review Italian speech audio and machine-generated transcriptions, accurately align individual words with the corresponding audio, and ensure annotations meet detailed project quality guidelines.
What You’ll Do
- Adjust word timestamps: Review audio waveforms and accurately adjust word boundaries to the millisecond using our annotation tool.
- Correct transcriptions: Edit automated transcriptions so the text accurately reflects the spoken audio, following project formatting requirements such as lowercase text and no punctuation.
- Tokenize speech: Split incorrectly merged words, combine words that have been incorrectly fragmented, and remove annotation segments containing only silence.
- Tag vocal sounds: Identify and segment distinct vocal activities such as laughter, sighs, pauses, and other relevant non-speech vocalizations.
- Perform quality checks: Review completed annotations for accuracy, consistency, and compliance with detailed project guidelines.

Strong analytical and quality-control skills.
A reliable computer, high-quality headphones, and stable internet connection.
Ability to learn new annotation tools and project-specific standards.
