About AI Training and Data Labeling

AI systems learn from examples prepared and reviewed by people. Contributors support this process by annotating documents, transcribing content, evaluating data, and providing careful feedback that helps models understand real-world information.

This work is part of a fast-growing technology field and can offer flexible, remote opportunities for people with language skills, subject expertise, and strong attention to detail.

The Role

OpenTrain AI is recruiting an Odia PDF Annotation and Transcription Expert to support AI training based on real Odia PDF document pages. You will work with materials such as newspapers, textbooks, exam papers, flyers, forms, manuals, menus, brochures, notices, and worksheets.

The role combines page-structure annotation, Odia transcription, metadata capture, and quality review. Prior AI training experience is not required unless stated elsewhere in the job page, but relevant document, language, or regional-data experience is required.

• Employment type: Part-time contractor
• Experience level: Entry level
• Time requirement: 20+ hours per week
• Language: Odia
• Location eligibility: India
• Pay: $12.68 per hour

What You’ll Do

You will prepare and review structured annotations across a wide range of Odia documents. Accuracy, consistency, and faithful transcription are essential because the resulting data will help AI systems learn from varied page layouts and written content.

• Source Odia PDFs from assigned document types.
• Identify and bound every meaningful page region.
• Assign each region a component type and reading-order index.
• Record parent component relationships connecting regions to figures or tables.
• Faithfully transcribe all text in Odia script, including handwritten content.
• Capture language, document type, source, and page-dimension metadata.
• Flag pages containing tables, formulas, and handwriting.
• Review a colleague’s completed task for end-to-end quality.

Required Skills

This role requires native-level Odia ability and the discipline to apply a document taxonomy consistently across hundreds of pages. You should be comfortable working with both familiar and unfamiliar layouts, including dense newspapers, exam papers, and handwritten forms.

• Native Odia fluency with full command of the script, diacritics, and conjunct forms.
• Experience in document annotation, transcription, translation, localization, subtitling, proofreading, journalism, or regional-language data review.
• Exact and systematic attention to detail.
• Ability to apply a taxonomy consistently across hundreds of pages.
• Comfort working with multi-column newspapers, exam papers, and handwritten forms.

Who Should Apply

This opportunity may suit Odia language specialists, regional-language reviewers, proofreaders, journalists, transcriptionists, translators, and document annotation contributors who can work carefully with complex PDF layouts.

It is also a strong entry point for people interested in AI training who already have relevant Odia language or document expertise. The role is structured for part-time contractor work and requires a commitment of at least 20 hours each week.
