What if your native command of Japanese and your ear for precision could directly improve how AI understands and processes spoken language? We're looking for detail-oriented Japanese Audio Transcript Editors — including members of Vancouver's well-established Japanese-speaking community — to clean up, correct, and polish audio transcripts, ensuring every word, timestamp, and formatting detail is accurate and consistent.

- Correct errors in transcription — including misheard words, missing segments, incorrect kanji, and punctuation issues
- Verify and adjust word-level timing and alignment to match the audio precisely
- Apply detailed style and formatting guidelines consistently across all assignments
- Flag unclear, ambiguous, or low-quality audio segments according to project protocols
- Maintain high accuracy and consistency across large volumes of transcript data
- Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

- Meticulous attention to detail — you notice subtle errors that others overlook
- Comfortable working with word-level accuracy and exact timing in transcripts
- Able to follow detailed style guides and formatting rules precisely and consistently
- Strong reading and writing skills in Japanese, including confident use of kanji, hiragana, and katakana
- Self-motivated and reliable when working independently
