Italian Audio Annotation Trainer at Turing

Italian Audio Annotation Trainer | Freelance | Worldwide Remote

Turing is seeking a fluent or native Italian speaker to join a specialized AI data project focused on transcription quality and audio annotation. In this role, you will evaluate and validate AI-generated transcriptions of multi-speaker audio recordings, helping to build an evaluation-grade dataset that powers cutting-edge multilingual AI systems.

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 organizations.

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 Italian.
• Exceptional ear for audio fidelity — able to detect subtle background noise, channel bleed, or clipping.
• Meticulous attention to detail for word-level timestamp verification and strict verbatim transcription rules.
• Ability to evaluate AI transcription quality and identify recognition, segmentation, and speaker attribution errors.

Preferred Qualifications

• Linguists / Phonetics Experts: Deep understanding of natural speech patterns and conversational dynamics in Italian.
• Language Teachers: Native-level mastery with the ability to assess transcript fidelity without normalization or grammar correction.
• Professional Transcriptionists / ASR QA Specialists: Experience reviewing ASR outputs, validating timestamps, and assessing transcription accuracy against strict quality benchmarks.

Why Work With Turing?

• Fully remote, flexible freelance engagement.
• Opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge AI and LLM development.
• 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.
