What You'll Do

* Listen to French-language audio recordings and produce accurate, detailed transcriptions * Handle challenging audio — including overlapping speakers, crosstalk, background noise, regional accents, and filled pauses (e.g., "euh", "hein", "ben") * Identify and distinguish between multiple speakers throughout a recording * Follow detailed style and formatting guidelines with precision and consistency * Apply transcription conventions for non-verbal sounds, inaudible segments, and spoken disfluencies * Maintain high accuracy and quality standards across large volumes of audio * Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule
