We are seeking part-time transcribers to join our team and be a part of the development of automated tests of English language proficiency. Transcriptions are key to developing our AI scoring models used in many of our assessment products.
Responsibilities
As a transcriber, you will log in to a web-based tool to listen to spoken responses one-by-one and transcribe test-takers’ speech word-for-word using our specific transcription notations. All speech and events heard in the audio responses are transcribed, from hesitations and coughs to street noise and laughter. The work is very detail oriented. Successful transcribers have an interest in language, have a “good ear”, and enjoy the challenges of deciphering spoken audio responses from English language learners.
After being hired, candidates must pass a paid training session, which takes up to 10 hours. Candidates who do not pass will not continue in the position. Candidates who pass the training will be invited to work on Pearson transcription projects.
Pearson does not have continuous transcription work throughout the year. Instead, transcription projects occur 5-6 times per year, and each one lasts from 2 weeks to 4 months. We will notify you when a transcription project is available. Transcribers are expected to work 10-20 hours/week for the duration of the project so that we can stay on track. Transcribers work from home and set their own schedules as the web-based tool is available 24/7.
This is an hourly-paid ($18/hour), non-benefit-eligible, part-time position with the work completed at one’s home.
Preferred Qualifications
- Mastery of the English language
- Bachelor’s degree in a language-related field (linguistics, TESOL, language studies, English)
- Attention to detail
- Typing speed of 55+ WPM
- Previous transcription experience
- ESL/EFL teaching experience
- Ability to successfully work independently and remotely from a home office
Technical Requirements
- Headphones
- High-speed internet connection
- Computer
