Italian Audio Transcript Editor – Remote (Buenos Aires)

About the Role

Buenos Aires has one of the largest Italian-heritage communities in the world — and if you grew up speaking Italian at home or have developed native-level fluency, your skills are exactly what we need.

We're looking for Italian Audio Transcript Editors in the Buenos Aires area to clean up, correct, and perfect audio transcripts — making the word-level corrections that teach AI systems to understand spoken Italian with real accuracy. You'll listen carefully, compare what you hear against existing transcripts, and apply detailed guidelines to ensure every phrase, timestamp, and punctuation mark is right.

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.

What You'll Do

• Listen to Italian audio recordings and compare them against existing transcripts
• Correct errors at the word level — fixing misspellings, missing words, incorrect punctuation, and misheard phrases
• Adjust and verify exact timing and alignment of transcript segments
• Follow detailed style and formatting guidelines with precision and consistency
• Flag audio quality issues, ambiguous speech, or segments requiring further review
• Maintain high accuracy and quality standards across large volumes of transcription tasks
• Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

• Native or near-native fluency in Italian — you catch nuances, dialects, and colloquialisms that others miss
• Excellent listening skills with the patience to replay and verify difficult audio passages
• Extremely detail-oriented — you care about getting every word, space, and timestamp right
• Comfortable following structured, detailed formatting and style guidelines
• Self-motivated and reliable when working independently through repetitive, precision-focused tasks
• Proficient with computer-based tools and comfortable navigating web-based platforms

Nice to Have

• Experience as a transcriptionist, court reporter, or stenographer
• Background in subtitle editing, closed-captioning, or audio post-production
• Training or experience in linguistics, phonetics, or language annotation
• Prior work with annotation platforms, data labeling tools, or AI training workflows
• Familiarity with Italian regional dialects and italo-rioplatense speech influences
• Experience in translation, localization, or editorial work in Italian or Spanish

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge 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 directly improves how technology processes and understands spoken Italian
