French – Audio Transcript Editor

About the Role

What if your perfect ear for French and obsession with precision could directly shape how AI understands spoken language? We're looking for meticulous French Audio Transcript Editors to review, clean up, and correct audio transcripts — ensuring every word, timestamp, and formatting detail is exactly right.

This is hands-on, detail-intensive work that sits at the intersection of language, audio, and AI. You'll listen closely, compare transcripts against source audio, and apply rigorous style and formatting guidelines to produce flawless results. If you thrive on word-level accuracy and take pride in getting every detail perfect, this role was made for you.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just native-level French, strong listening skills, and a commitment to precision.

• Identify and correct errors in spelling, word choice, punctuation, and speaker attribution
• Ensure word-level accuracy and precise timing alignment throughout each transcript
• Apply detailed style and formatting guidelines consistently across all assignments
• Flag unclear or ambiguous audio segments and document them according to project standards
• Work with annotation platforms and transcript editing tools to deliver polished output
• Complete task-based assignments independently on your own schedule
