Ability to produce verbatim transcriptions, including stutters, repetitions, and filler words. Experience in transcription, annotation, or linguistics is an advantage.

Reliable availability for minimum 10+ hours per week.

About this listing
Published on Lever under the board identifier Appen, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
