Job description

About Perle

Perle is an AI infrastructure company providing expert-driven training data, evaluation systems, and applied AI solutions to leading global labs and enterprises. With headquarters in San Francisco and expertise spanning over forty markets, Perle emphasizes work that demands human discernment, including domain expertise, linguistic subtlety, and cultural accuracy—areas where generic data vendors fall short.

Role Summary

This opportunity involves working as a freelance transcriptionist proficient in Sinhalese, responsible for accurately transcribing audio recordings featuring two distinct speakers. The role is remote and paid on a contract basis, welcoming qualified participants globally.

Key Responsibilities

  • Listen attentively to dual-speaker audio files in Sinhalese with separate channels.
  • Transcribe spoken content faithfully and completely for each speaker.
  • Identify and label speakers clearly as Speaker 1 or Speaker 2, correlating with audio channels.
  • Insert timestamps at every speaker change, formatted as HH:MM:SS.
  • Ensure transcripts follow a sequential and gap-free order.

Candidate Requirements

  • Native or nearly native fluency in both written and spoken Sinhalese.
  • Strong command of written Sinhalese, with correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
  • Ability to work autonomously and fulfill daily productivity expectations.
  • Access to a reliable computer and internet connection.
  • Availability to dedicate at least four hours daily to transcription tasks.
  • Previous transcription experience advantageous but not essential; all candidates must pass a qualifying test.

Quality Expectations

  • Maintain a Word Error Rate (WER) of 5% or lower on transcripts delivered.
  • Ensure zero mistakes in speaker labeling, with Speaker 1 always matched to Channel 1.
  • Transcripts are subject to ongoing review and constructive feedback.
  • Submissions not meeting quality standards will be returned for amendment.
