Italian Audio Transcript Editor (AI Training) – Remote

Italian Audio Transcript Editor (AI Training)
About The Role
Melbourne is home to one of the most vibrant Italian-speaking communities outside of Italy. If your Italian is at a native or near-native level and you have a sharp ear for detail, we have meaningful remote work for you.
We're looking for Italian Audio Transcript Editors to clean up, correct, and perfect audio transcripts — making the precise, word-level corrections that help AI systems learn to understand spoken Italian accurately. You'll listen to recordings, compare them against existing transcripts, and apply detailed guidelines to fix every error you find.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI or tech background needed — just native-level Italian, strong listening skills, and a methodical approach to careful work.
