Transcribers must be able to distinguish different speakers and accurately hear what is being said, even with background noise and overlapping conversations. You will have the opportunity to work 100% from home under a freelance scheme and with fixed work schedules (full time).

You will be in direct contact with our Project Manager (located in the CST time zone) to receive and deliver assignments on an ongoing basis.

The material to be transcribed includes recordings related to criminal cases, such as body camera videos, calls from jails, interviews, etc. The audio is often low quality, with overlapping speakers, sensitive content, regional slang, and vulgar language. Speakers primarily use Spanish from Mexico, Central America, and the Hispanic community in the Los Angeles region, which must be translated into American English.

- Depending on skill level and performance, a promotion to full-time reviewer, with a higher salary, may be considered after approx. 9 months of work.
- Work schedule: Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday half day from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (CDMX local time). For candidates with a "top" profile and good performance, exceptions to the schedule may be considered.
