Audio Annotation Trainer – Russian at Turing

Audio Annotation Trainer (Russian) | Freelance | Worldwide Remote

Turing is seeking a detail-oriented, Russian-fluent Audio Annotation Trainer to help build an evaluation-grade dataset of transcribed, multi-channel audio recordings. This freelance role supports the advancement of multilingual AI systems by ensuring transcription accuracy, speaker diarization quality, and adherence to strict verbatim standards.

About Turing

Turing is one of the world's fastest-growing AI companies, partnering with leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities in reasoning, coding, multilinguality, and more. We build real-world AI systems that solve mission-critical challenges for global enterprises.

What You'll Do

• Review and evaluate AI-generated transcriptions and diarization outputs against strict low word error rate (WER) targets.
• Validate that transcripts accurately capture spontaneous, unnormalized speech — including overlaps, interruptions, false starts, and disfluencies.
• Assess the precision of turn-level and word-level timestamps and speaker identification in complex, overlapping dialogue.
• Read and validate JSON-formatted outputs to verify metadata tagging, diarization alignment, and timestamp logic.
• Identify transcription, segmentation, and alignment errors, and determine whether AI output meets acceptance thresholds.

Requirements

• Fluent or native proficiency in Russian.
• Exceptional ear for audio fidelity — able to detect background noise, channel bleed, or clipping.
• Meticulous attention to detail for word-level timestamps, diarization accuracy, and verbatim transcription rules.
• Ability to evaluate AI-generated transcription quality and identify recognition, segmentation, and speaker attribution errors.

Preferred Qualifications

• Linguists / Phonetics Experts: Deep understanding of natural speech patterns and conversational dynamics.
• Language Teachers: Native-level mastery with the ability to evaluate transcript fidelity without normalization or grammar correction.
• Professional Transcriptionists / Speech Data QA Specialists: Experience reviewing ASR outputs and validating turn-level and word-level timestamps.

Why Work With Turing

• Fully remote, flexible freelance arrangement.
• Opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge AI and LLM projects.
• Potential for contract extension based on performance and project needs.

This is a flexible freelance agreement, not a full-time or part-time employment position.
