Audio Transcription & Alignment Specialist (AI Training)
About The Role
What if your ear for detail and obsession with accuracy could directly shape how AI understands human speech? We're looking for Audio Transcription & Alignment Specialists in the London area to clean up word-level transcripts inside a proprietary editor — correcting text and precisely aligning timing boundaries to match spoken audio, frame by frame, word by word.
London's vibrant media, broadcasting, and language services sector means there's no shortage of people who understand what precise, professional audio work looks like. If you've ever worked in closed captioning, subtitling, broadcast transcription, linguistics, or audio data annotation, you already have the instincts this role demands.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just sharp ears, a detail-obsessed mindset, and comfort working inside specialized tools.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Review and correct word-level transcripts for accuracy, spelling, grammar, and adherence to strict style and formatting conventions
- Precisely align word and segment timing boundaries to match spoken audio at the millisecond level
- Work inside a specialized web-based audio labeling tool to edit text and timing simultaneously
- Follow detailed transcription style guides and rule-based conventions with absolute consistency
- Identify and resolve edge cases — overlapping speech, filler words, false starts, background noise, and unclear audio
- Maintain high accuracy and quality standards across large volumes of audio tasks
- Meet reliable turnaround times on tight per-task deadlines
- Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule
