You will listen closely to recordings, compare them with existing transcripts, and deliver accurate output across a variety of French accents, including Swiss French.

This is a fully remote, flexible contractor role. The role description supports approximately 10 to 40 hours per week, while the listing indicates a commitment of 20 or more hours per week. Compensation is $10 to $35 USD per hour.
