[Hiring] Korean Audio Segmentation and Transcription @Lifted, an Upwork Company™

Role Description

Our enterprise client, a leading provider of high-quality, diverse datasets for AI model development, is looking for a Korean Audio Segmentation and Transcription expert to support an AI training initiative aimed at improving Korean speech recognition models. In this role, you will produce precise, verbatim transcriptions and review audio recordings in Korean. Your contributions will directly help train and enhance next-generation AI speech technologies.

• This project focuses on transcription tasks involving both single-speaker and multi-speaker audio recordings.
• Tasks may vary in complexity depending on audio quality and number of speakers.

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).

Qualifications

• Native-level fluency in Korean 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 20+ hours per week.

Additional Information

• Work anytime, provided you meet project deadlines and quality standards.
• Tasks and overall workload may shift based on project needs.
• Consistent availability and productivity are required throughout the assignment.
• Payment will be based on your completed output.
