The job description
About the Role
What if your native ear for Castilian Spanish could directly shape how AI understands spoken language? We're looking for detail-oriented transcript editors in London — particularly those with deep familiarity with Spain's Spanish dialect — to review, correct, and refine audio transcripts that will power the next generation of AI speech systems.
London's large and diverse Spanish-speaking community includes a significant number of native Castilian speakers. If you have a sharp ear, a love of linguistic precision, and the patience for detailed, methodical work, this role was built for you.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just native or near-native Castilian Spanish, excellent listening skills, and a commitment to accuracy.
What You'll Do
- Listen to Castilian Spanish audio recordings and compare them against existing transcripts, correcting errors at the word level
- Fix misheard words, misspellings, punctuation errors, and formatting inconsistencies
- Verify and adjust word-level timestamps to ensure precise alignment with the audio
- Apply detailed style and formatting guidelines consistently across all tasks
- Flag unclear audio, overlapping speech, or segments that require additional review
- Maintain high accuracy and quality standards across large volumes of transcript data
- Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule
Who You Are
- Native or near-native Castilian Spanish speaker — deep familiarity with Spain's pronunciation, vocabulary, and regional nuances is essential
- Excellent listening skills with the ability to accurately distinguish words in varied audio conditions
- Highly detail-oriented with a methodical, patient approach to repetitive precision work
- Comfortable working with exact timing and word-level accuracy
- Able to follow and consistently apply detailed style guides and formatting rules
- Strong written communication skills in Spanish
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
- No prior AI or tech experience required
Nice to Have
- Experience as a transcriptionist, court reporter, or stenographer
- Background in subtitling, closed-captioning, or subtitle editing
- Linguistics training or academic background in Spanish language studies — particularly Iberian Spanish
- Prior work with annotation platforms, data labeling tools, or transcript editing software
- Familiarity with phonetics, speech processing, or audio analysis
- Experience following detailed editorial or formatting style guides
Why Join Us
- Work on cutting-edge AI speech and language 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 directly to improving how AI understands and processes spoken Spanish
- Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
- Join a global community of language specialists doing work that matters
