Polish – Audio Transcriptionist

About the Role

What if your ability to hear every word — even through crosstalk, background noise, and overlapping speakers — could directly shape how AI understands spoken Polish? We're looking for detail-oriented transcriptionists to produce accurate, high-quality transcriptions of Polish-language audio, helping build the datasets that teach AI systems how real people actually speak.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role ideal for anyone with native Polish fluency, strong listening skills, and the patience to get every word right. Whether you've worked in transcription, court reporting, subtitling, linguistics, or annotation — or you simply have an exceptional ear and a meticulous work ethic — we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Listen to Polish-language audio recordings and produce precise, verbatim transcriptions
• Handle challenging audio conditions — including crosstalk, filled pauses ("yyy," "eee," "hmm"), background noise, and multiple simultaneous speakers
• Accurately identify and distinguish between different speakers throughout recordings
• Follow detailed style and formatting guidelines with consistency and precision
• Apply transcription conventions for non-verbal sounds, incomplete utterances, and other spoken-language phenomena
• Maintain high quality and accuracy standards across large volumes of audio
• Work independently and asynchronously on task-based assignments at your own pace

Who You Are

• Native or near-native fluency in Polish — you catch every nuance, dialect cue, and filler word
• Exceptional listening skills with the ability to parse difficult or noisy audio
• Highly detail-oriented with a methodical, patient approach to repetitive tasks
• Comfortable following and consistently applying detailed style guides and formatting rules
• Strong written Polish skills — spelling, punctuation, and grammar come naturally to you
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently without direct supervision
• Comfortable using web-based tools and platforms

Nice to Have

• Professional experience in transcription, court reporting, or stenography
• Background in subtitling, closed-captioning, or media post-production
• Linguistics training or academic background in Polish language studies
• Prior experience with annotation platforms or data labeling workflows
• Familiarity with transcription software or audio editing tools
• Knowledge of Polish regional dialects and colloquial speech patterns
