HITL Transcriber — Sesotho Conversational Audio

We need native Sesotho speakers to transcribe conversational audio recordings for an AI training dataset. Transcripts must be fully human-generated or human QA-ed — no machine-only transcripts accepted.

What you'll do:

• Transcribe conversational Sesotho audio files (2 minutes to 1 hour per file)
• Deliver transcripts in JSON format with:
  • Time-coding (no overlaps across speakers)
  • Speaker diarization (each speaker individually labeled)
  • Sequential ordering
  • Minimum 95% precision
• Confirm each transcript is fully human-generated or human QA-ed

Requirements:

• Native or near-native speaker of Sesotho
• Comfortable working with JSON output (template will be provided)
• Access to a laptop or desktop computer
• Ability to deliver on a rolling schedule aligned with 20-day tranches

What you'll be paid:

• $10 per audio hour transcribed (paid per accepted transcript submission)
• One submission = one audio hour transcribed

Timeline: Rolling submissions Jul 20 – Sep 14, 2026.

What to submit per audio hour transcribed:

• Link to JSON transcript file (Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer)
• Attestation that the transcript is fully human-generated or human QA-ed
• Reference to the original audio file ID

Rejected transcripts (below 95% precision, machine-only output, missing diarization or time-coding) are not paid.
