Who Should Apply

Ukrainian speakers with strong writing and grammar skills who can turn podcast audio into readable transcripts should apply. The role suits someone who catches speaker changes, handles varied audio quality, and meets episode deadlines on a remote freelance schedule.

Salary Insight

The posting lists $85 per completed audio hour, not per hour of work. That distinction matters: the time needed for one audio hour varies with experience and speed, so output drives earnings. Applicants who saw an earlier rate should use the current higher figure. The rate fits specialist freelance transcription that requires Ukrainian fluency and careful formatting.
