VerifiedPDF Annotation & Transcription Experts – Korean
This remote role feeds document AI models with the Korean PDF pages that typical parsers do not handle well. You will source one public PDF in an assigned document category, then annotate its full structure: each title, heading, paragraph, table, figure, caption, formula, and answer field gets a component type and a reading-order index. With structure in place, you transcribe every text region character for character in Hangul, including handwritten notes and hanja. A second Korean expert reviews every delivered page, and mistakes trigger a redo, so exactness matters more than volume.
