Labeling Experience

Speech Transcription Specialist - Independent Contractor

AudioAudioSegmentationSegmentation

Provided verbatim, time-aligned orthographic transcriptions and text normalization for large-scale conversational English datasets to support downstream speech and language model training. Reviewed audio using waveform and spectrogram views while applying phonetics-aware quality assurance checks to ensure accurate segmentation and formatting. Preserved natural speech characteristics such as disfluencies, overlaps, false starts, and filled pauses while meeting strict project conventions and compliance requirements. • Performed time-aligned transcription, normalization, and boundary validation for conversational audio. • Audited waveform and spectrograms (with attentive listening) to confirm precise data formatting. • Ensured dataset consistency by following project QA protocols and speech boundary standards. • Captured and maintained authentic conversational features (e.g., disfluencies and interruptions).
