THE ROLE
We are hiring expert Hebrew (US, Canada, EU) transcribers to convert audio recordings of native speakers into precise, conventionally formatted written transcripts. The work powers speech recognition, dialogue, and evaluation systems for major AI labs. Audio ranges from clean studio recordings to natural conversational speech in real-world acoustic conditions.
You will be working at the level of expert linguistic judgment. This is not data entry. Decisions about orthography, code-switching, speaker attribution, disfluencies, and non-speech events shape the quality of every model trained on your output.
DIALECT AND SCOPE
Modern Hebrew (Ivrit) as spoken across Israel. Project audio reflects everyday speech with right-to-left script direction and awareness of optional niqqud (vowel pointing) per project conventions.
Primary speaker regions: Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, Beersheba, Netanya, Rishon LeZion.
