Alignerr

Audio Transcription Specialist

$40-120/hr Remote Freelance AUDIO

What if your sharp ears and attention to detail could directly shape how AI understands human speech? We're looking for Audio Transcription Specialists to convert spoken audio into accurate written text — work that sits at the heart of how AI learns to listen, interpret, and respond to the world.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role open to anyone with strong listening skills and a commitment to accuracy. No professional transcription experience required.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
  • Transcribe audio recordings into accurate, properly formatted written text
  • Navigate a variety of accents, speaking speeds, and audio quality levels with patience and precision
  • Apply consistent formatting, punctuation, and style guidelines across all transcriptions
  • Flag unclear or inaudible segments and note speaker changes where relevant
  • Meet quality benchmarks and turnaround targets for each assigned batch
  • Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
Who You Are
  • A strong, attentive listener who picks up on nuance and detail
  • Accurate and efficient typist comfortable working at pace
  • Patient when working through challenging audio — accents, background noise, overlapping speakers
  • Able to follow structured guidelines and apply them consistently
  • Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
  • No prior transcription or AI experience required
Nice to Have
  • Prior experience with transcription tools or audio software
  • Familiarity with style guides or editorial formatting standards
  • Background in journalism, linguistics, or content production
  • Experience working with diverse accents or multilingual audio
Why Join Us
  • Work on real AI projects alongside leading research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
  • Contribute to AI development that shapes how technology understands human communication
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
