What You'll Do

- Apply transcription guidelines consistently, including notation for speaker turns, pauses, fillers, and non-speech sounds
- Identify and flag unclear or ambiguous audio segments with appropriate annotations
- Handle a variety of accents, dialects, speaking speeds, and recording conditions
- Maintain high accuracy and consistency across large volumes of audio tasks
- Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule
About the Role
What if your ear for Korean could directly shape how AI understands spoken language for over 80 million Korean speakers worldwide? We're looking for Korean Audio Transcription Specialists in Sydney to listen to Korean audio recordings and produce accurate, detailed transcriptions that train the next generation of AI speech and language systems.

Whether you're a native speaker, a Korean language graduate, or a bilingual professional, this is a chance to put your Korean fluency to meaningful use — on your own schedule. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No AI or tech background needed — just native-level Korean listening skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to transcribe what you hear with precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the assessment actually like?
Notoriously strict. Alignerr uses TestGorilla for role-specific timed tests — a blank coding environment for engineers, rigorous grammar and fact-checking for writers. There is almost no hand-holding. The critical catch: this is essentially a one-shot process. Fail or abandon the assessment, and you are typically locked out of that role permanently with no option to retake.
How quickly can I start earning after I pass?
Not immediately. Even after passing the assessment and completing identity verification (via Persona) and billing setup (via Deel), you may sit in a waiting pool for weeks or months. You only start earning when a project matching your specific skills launches and you are officially assigned. Do not plan around Alignerr income until you are actively on a project.
Is there a community?
Yes — and it is one of Alignerr's genuine strengths. Once assigned to a project, you are added to Slack channels where you can ask questions, get rubric clarifications from admins, and talk to other AI trainers. This is rare in AI training and makes a real difference when guidelines are ambiguous or change mid-project.
What equipment do I need?
For voice or audio roles at this pay level, you typically need a professional home studio setup (XLR microphone, treated room). Phone recordings or laptop mics are usually rejected by quality control.
How is my work used?
You are providing high-quality "ground truth" data. For writers, this means creative generation. For voice actors, it often means training Text-to-Speech models. Be sure to check the specific contract details regarding rights usage for your voice or likeness.
Is creative freedom allowed?
Yes and no. While you are hired for your talent, you must often follow strict style guides (e.g., "Speak in a neutral tone" or "Write in the style of a technical manual"). The goal is consistency for the dataset.
What is the barrier to entry?
Alignerr is known for difficult technical assessments. You must pass a timed test in your specific domain (e.g., Python, Physics, or Language) before you are eligible for any paid projects.
