Listing checked October 6, 2026 · pay as published by Micro1
Overview
micro1 is hiring Swiss German Transcription Experts to work on a client project that produces high-quality audio transcripts. Your output will feed into training data for next-generation AI systems, helping models learn from real-world speech. You will transcribe audio in Swiss German or English, flag linguistic nuances, and follow project guidelines to keep transcripts consistent. No background in AI is needed. What counts is your ear for dialect and your precision with written language.
What You'll Do7
- 1Turn Swiss German or English audio samples into written transcripts with a high level of accuracy.
- 2Apply project-specific rules and conventions so every transcript meets the same quality bar.
- 3Mark shifts in speakers, regional expressions, and context clues that appear in the recordings.
- 4Work with project managers and other transcription experts to resolve unclear audio or instructions.
- 5Go back over finished transcripts to correct grammar, spelling, and language errors.
- 6Suggest changes to transcription workflows or quality checks based on what you notice in the audio.

Requirements7

- 2Hands-on experience producing professional audio transcripts, ideally with Swiss German or multilingual recordings.
- 3A sharp eye for detail that shows up in transcripts free of errors.
- 4Solid written and spoken communication skills, with a focus on language accuracy.
- 5Exposure to AI training, linguistic annotation, or machine learning projects is a bonus.
- 6Track record of handling sensitive audio files with discretion.
- 7Ability to work on your own in a remote setup and manage your schedule and output.
Who Should Apply
This role fits someone who grew up speaking Swiss German, can tell apart regional accents, and has already done professional transcription work. If you have annotated data for AI or language projects, that experience will help your application stand out. The job is less suited to people who only have conversational Swiss German or who have never transcribed audio for pay. Candidates often get rejected when their application does not show specific transcription experience or when they cannot demonstrate familiarity with Swiss German dialects beyond a single region. Another common reason for low fit scores is a lack of examples showing attention to detail in past transcripts.

Application Tip
In your application, name the Swiss German dialects or regions you know well and describe one transcription project where you handled multilingual or dialect-heavy audio. Include a short sample or a link to past work if you have one. That concrete evidence will raise your fit score more than a general statement about being detail-oriented.
