Expert Audio Transcriber, Greek

THE ROLE

We are hiring expert Greek 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.

Modern Greek (Standard Modern Greek) and its regional varieties, with awareness of Cypriot Greek as a distinct variety. Project audio includes both formal and conversational registers in Greek script.

Primary speaker regions: Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras, Heraklion, Larissa, Nicosia.
