-Remote - Work from anywhere
-Fair pay globally - Always above minimum wage in your market

Task Summary
You will listen to real audio recordings and produce precise, verbatim transcripts, capturing not just what was said, but how it was said. That means every “uh,” every repeated word, and every trailing sentence matters. Your work will include:
• Verbatim transcription with a target of 98%+ accuracy
• Timestamping segments with less than 500ms deviation
• Speaker labeling for conversations with 2 to 8 participants
• Event annotation for non-speech elements (e.g., laughter, background noise, unintelligible audio)
Requirements
- Native-level fluency in Portuguese including familiarity with regional accents and informal speech
- Strong listening comprehension and attention to detail.
- Ability to produce verbatim transcriptions, including stutters, repetitions, and filler words.
- Experience in transcription, annotation, or linguistics is an advantage.
- Comfortable using browser-based tools (training will be provided).
- Reliable internet connection.
- Access to a laptop or desktop computer (mobile devices are not supported).
- Reliable availability for minimum 10+ hours per week.
