Job Description:
Freelance Audio Contributor
1. Audio Recording
Record natural, two-speaker conversations following pre-written conversation prompts and scripts.
Keep dialogue natural and spontaneous, even when guided by a script.
Ensure recordings meet technical specs: minimum 16kHz sample rate, clear audio, minimal background noise.
Each file must be between 10 seconds and 1 minute in length.
Use standard headphones and microphone (studio setup is a plus but not required).
2. Transcription
Accurately transcribe recorded audio dialogues into written text.
Capture speaker turns, natural speech patterns, and relevant verbal cues.
Follow Perle's transcription style guide for formatting and notation.
3. Audio Review & Quality Assurance
Listen to and evaluate audio recordings submitted by other contributors.
Assess recordings for naturalness, audio clarity, accent compliance, and content guidelines.
Flag and report files that do not meet project specifications.
Job Requirements:
Native US English speaker with a standard, non-heavily accented American accent.
Access to a quiet recording environment and a reliable headset / microphone.
Strong attention to detail and ability to follow written guidelines.
Ability to work independently and meet batch delivery deadlines.
Basic computer literacy (file management, audio uploads, spreadsheet tools).
Prior experience in transcription, voice work, or data annotation is a plus — but not required.
All audio data must be original and legally sourced.
Contributors must comply with applicable privacy regulations (CCPA and applicable US federal/state laws).
Submitted data must not include any personally identifiable information (PII) of third parties without explicit consent.
Perle retains all intellectual property rights to collected data and associated deliverables.
