Transcription jobs

We’re a small Australian transcription business looking for two reliable, detail-oriented proofreaders to join our freelance team.

About the work
You’ll proofread AI-assisted transcripts of interviews, checking them against the audio for accuracy. You’ll need a computer, headphones and Microsoft Office or LibreOffice. No foot pedal is required.

Schedule

• Monday to Friday, about 2–3 hours per day when work is available
• Files are usually ready between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm AEDT
• Monday to Thursday: your work is due by 8:00 pm AEDT the same day
• Friday: your work is due by 8:00 pm AEDT on Sunday
• You’ll need to be available on weekday afternoons and evenings (roughly 3–8 pm AEDT). Within that window, you choose when you work.

Pay
$60 per hour of recorded audio. One hour of audio typically takes two hours or less to proofread, which works out to around $30 or more per hour of work. We pay invoices fortnightly.

What we’re looking for

• Excellent listening skills: you can follow audio closely, tell speakers apart and spot where the text doesn’t match what was said
• Strong attention to detail: you catch what others miss and care about accuracy
• Reliability: our work runs to a regular weekday schedule, so consistently meeting deadlines is essential
• Good editing skills: you can follow instructions and apply a style guide consistently. Transcription or proofreading experience is an advantage but not essential.
• Familiarity with Australian English: most of our clients are Australian, so you’ll need to be comfortable with the full range of accents, slang and phrasing you’ll hear in Australia
• An ABN, or willingness to get one

How to apply
Send a brief cover letter and resume outlining your relevant experience. Please include your time zone and typical weekday availability.

Shortlisted applicants will complete a short, five minute proofreading test. Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.

Pay: $30.00 – $40.00 per hour

Expected hours: 10.0 – 15.0 per week
