The work
This remote contractor role focuses on multi-speaker conversational audio. Day to day, you may identify speaker and audio metadata such as accent, dialect, approximate age, speaking style, audio quality and background noise, then correct first-pass ASR transcripts for British English spelling, vocabulary, idioms, slang and usage.
The work calls for familiarity with Received Pronunciation, Estuary English, Scouse, Geordie, Yorkshire, Mancunian, West Country, Welsh English, and Scottish English. Fluent proficiency in British English is preferred, as is a background in language teaching, linguistics, transcription, editing, translation, journalism or a related discipline. Experience with audio data, metadata tagging or transcription is beneficial.
Screening and logistics
An AI-led screen is likely to test whether you can support accent classifications with audible evidence, make defensible transcript corrections and handle uncertainty without guessing. Expect follow-up questions about regional pronunciation, ambiguous metadata, overlapping speech, British spelling conventions and maintaining consistency under detailed annotation guidelines.
The role is remote within Great Britain and structured as contractor work. The listing does not specify typical weekly hours or confirm whether tasks are fully asynchronous, so availability expectations and scheduling should be confirmed during onboarding.
