You will be working on the innovative Data Factory platform, a hub for data collection and annotation that fuels AI development.

- • In addition to transcription, you will also be involved in reviewing existing transcriptions. This involves listening to audio recordings and comparing them against their transcribed text, identifying any discrepancies, errors, or areas where the transcription could be more natural or contextually appropriate.
- • Adherence to project-specific guidelines will be paramount. You will be provided with detailed instructions on how to handle various scenarios, including slang, regional dialects, background noise, and specific terminology. Following these guidelines consistently is crucial for maintaining data integrity and ensuring the uniformity of the transcribed output across the project.

- • This is a project-based engagement, offering a high degree of flexibility. You will have the autonomy to manage your own schedule, allowing you to balance this work with other commitments. The project operates on a system where you can choose when to work, provided you meet the project's deadlines and quality standards.
- • The work involves listening to audio content, which may range from clear, studio-quality recordings to more challenging real-world audio with ambient noise or multiple speakers. Your ability to discern speech in various conditions will be a valuable asset.

- • By participating in this project, you are directly contributing to the development of AI technologies that will benefit Thai speakers. This could include voice assistants, translation tools, speech recognition software, and other AI-powered applications that are becoming increasingly integrated into daily life.
- • The role demands a high level of independence and self-discipline. While support and guidelines will be provided, you will be expected to manage your tasks effectively, maintain focus, and deliver high-quality results without constant supervision.
- • You will be joining the CrowdGen Community as an Independent Contractor, providing you with the flexibility and autonomy associated with freelance work.
- • Upon selection, you will receive an email from CrowdGen to set up an account on their platform. This process involves creating login credentials, completing profile information, and formally applying for the specific project, ensuring you are ready to commence your tasks.
