Italian Audio Transcript Editor – Remote Contract

Italian Audio Transcript Editor (AI Training)
About The Role
Switzerland's Italian-speaking community has a rare and valuable combination — a deep command of Italian alongside a culture of precision and rigour. We're looking for Italian Audio Transcript Editors based in Switzerland to clean up, correct, and perfect audio transcripts that teach AI systems to understand spoken Italian with real accuracy.
This is hands-on, focused work at the intersection of language, audio, and AI. You'll listen carefully, compare what you hear against existing transcripts, and make word-level corrections that matter. If you take pride in getting every syllable right, this role was made for you.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI background needed — just native-level Italian, strong listening skills, and the discipline to follow detailed guidelines with consistency.
