Overview

Terac runs a paid study that sharpens how well Amharic speech recognition models handle real recorded speech. Your day centers on a web platform where you listen to Amharic audio, then line up audio segmentation boundaries so each clip matches what the speaker actually says. Alongside that, you read the supplied transcripts and repair errors, misspellings, and misheard words. Steady contributions here feed straight into language tools that more people rely on. The project runs on an ongoing basis with a floor of 10 hours of work each week.

What You'll Do6

Play through assigned Amharic audio clips and follow the speech as you go
Check existing segment boundaries and shift them until they sit at the true start and end of each spoken phrase
Read the provided transcripts against the audio and fix words that do not match
Correct spelling and transcription slips so the written text mirrors what the speaker said
Flag passages where the audio is unclear or the segmentation needs a second look
Log at least 10 hours each week on the platform to keep tasks moving

Requirements6

Fluent command of spoken Amharic
Solid written Amharic, including accurate spelling
Keen ear for subtle differences in recorded speech
Comfort with browser-based annotation and text editing tools
Willingness to commit a minimum of 10 hours per week
Careful, repetitive work habits that hold up across long audio sessions

Preferred Qualifications3

Background in transcription
Background in translation
Background in linguistics

Who Should Apply

Fluent Amharic speakers who catch small audio details and enjoy cleaning up text will settle in fast here. People with transcription, translation, or linguistics experience bring a useful head start. The role suits anyone who can protect 10 hours a week for ongoing annotation work.

Salary Insight
