About the Role

We are hiring  Language Experts / Lexical Transcribers  to support a voice bot annotation project involving real customer speech.

The project will begin with a calibration team and progressively scale across additional Indian languages.

Qualification :

Produce lexical transcription without punctuation or special symbols and use the appropriate target-language script.
Write numbers, dates, digits, abbreviations, and English loan words in the required lexical format while maintaining consistent spelling.
Apply contextual correction only when the intended word is unambiguous from the sentence context; otherwise preserve what is actually spoken or use the prescribed unintelligibility handling.
Identify and appropriately handle distorted, unintelligible, IVR, non-target-language, background-speech, and overlapping-audio cases as defined in the guidelines.
Use the  tag only for genuinely unintelligible content and follow project quality limits.
Incorporate calibration and QA feedback promptly and maintain agreed quality and turnaround expectations.
Escalate unclear or exceptional cases through the defined operations process rather than making unsupported assumptions.

Ability to consistently follow detailed annotation guidelines and apply the same spelling and formatting conventions across batches.
Comfort working against productivity, quality, and turnaround-time expectations in a structured production environment.

Preferred Skills

Experience with lexical transcription, speech-to-text validation, linguistic data labeling, or conversational AI datasets.
Familiarity with financial-services terminology or customer-service call recordings.
Experience identifying audio quality issues, overlapping speech, IVR leakage, and non-target-language segments.

Accurate customer-only segmentation with minimal avoidable clipping or inclusion of non-target speech.

Careful use of exceptions such as , dropped/rejected audio, and non-target-language handling.
