Freelance Spanish Audio Quality Analyst

We are looking for experienced QA Specialists with proven experience reviewing transcription work. This is a final validation role. You will review completed transcription tasks before delivery to the client. Your work directly impacts AI speech recognition model development, so accuracy is critical. This is not a transcription role. It is strictly a quality assurance position. This job offers the opportunity to contribute to a long-term project with ongoing work potential for strong performers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Review full audio files for segmentation accuracy
• Validate transcription accuracy and completeness
• Check spelling and formatting compliance
• Verify accent identification
• Ensure full adherence to project guidelines
• Identify errors and provide corrections as needed

Mandatory Requirements:

• Proven experience as a QA reviewer on transcription projects
• Prior experience reviewing segmented audio and transcripts
• Experience with acoustic data annotation
• Native-level proficiency in the target language
• Strong English reading comprehension
• Strong knowledge of spelling conventions
• High attention to detail
• Ability to apply detailed guidelines consistently
• Stable internet connection

Pay Rates:

Hourly rate: $11.81 per hour. If you work 20 hours per week, you can earn around $236.20 per week. For reference, that's approximately $944.80 per month (assuming 4 weeks of work).

To get started on this project, here's what the qualification process looks like:

• Sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), a standard agreement required before beginning any project work
• Complete a short calibration task (approximately 1 hour). A small sample of the actual work to demonstrate your QA skills. Passing this step is required to be fully qualified as a QA on the project.

NOTE: If your calibration results do not meet the QA quality threshold, but demonstrate strong transcription ability, you may be considered for a regular transcription role instead. The pay rate for transcription work differs and will be discussed if applicable.

Important Payment Information:

Payment is based on the time spent working on tasks, which will be automatically tracked through the client's platform hosting the tasks. The rate is $11.81 per hour. The total amount of $1,000.00 listed on the contract offer represents the maximum contract value and is not guaranteed pay. A lump sum milestone payment will be released monthly based on the total hours worked during that month, as tracked within the client's platform. Milestones will be created based on the data provided by the client for that month's completed work. The client gathers time and payment data through its platform and submits that information to Upwork. Upwork then processes payment accordingly. Submitted work must meet the quality standards outlined in the detailed task guidelines, examples, and instructions within the client's platform to qualify for payment.
