Korean Language Expert
Listing checked October 7, 2026 · pay as published by Micro1
Overview
micro1 is hiring Korean Language Experts to transcribe audio for a client project that trains next-generation AI systems. You will work with Korean and English audio, producing accurate transcripts and adding metadata that helps models learn from real-world speech. The role is fully remote and open to people without an AI background. Your language skills and attention to detail matter more than prior experience with machine learning.
What You'll Do6
- 1Transcribe audio recordings that mix Korean and English speech, keeping every word accurate.
- 2Check and correct transcripts produced by others, fixing errors and confirming linguistic precision.
- 3Add metadata and context notes to audio files so they meet AI training needs.
- 4Work with project coordinators to understand guidelines and stay current as specifications change.
- 5Turn in transcription work on schedule while meeting quality targets.
- 6Share feedback on tools, workflows, and language problems you run into during transcription.
Requirements7
- 1Native or near-native command of Korean, including strong listening and writing skills.
- 2Hands-on experience with audio transcription, ideally in settings that demand high accuracy.
- 3Sharp eye for detail and a track record of producing clean language data.
- 4Comfort using common transcription tools or platforms.
- 5Clear written and spoken communication, with the ability to explain decisions and flag unclear points.
- 6Capacity to juggle several assignments and adjust when project needs shift.
- 7A plus: past work on AI training, data annotation, or language resource projects.
Who Should Apply
This role suits someone with native-level Korean fluency and real transcription experience, especially if you have worked on projects where accuracy was critical. You should be comfortable using transcription software, writing clear notes, and handling more than one assignment at a time. Candidates who have contributed to AI training or data annotation projects will stand out. The role is less suitable for people who lack professional transcription experience or who prefer fixed, unchanging tasks. A common reason applicants get rejected is weak attention to detail, such as transcripts with missed words or inconsistent formatting. Another is limited availability to meet project timelines when audio volume increases.
