The brief
A UK-based content producer has 16 MP3 audio files (about 10 minutes each, roughly 160 minutes total) with 16 matching TXT transcripts that already include approximate timecodes. The words are largely transcribed already - this is mainly a timecoding and quality-check job, not transcription from scratch. It's marked entry level.
What you'll do
- Listen to each MP3 and check every existing timecode against the actual audio
- Correct inaccurate timings so they line up precisely with the speech
- Add a timecode at every speaker change (there are only two speakers) and at useful points within longer passages
- Keep the time running continuously from 0:00 at the start of each file
- Confirm the correct speaker is identified and fix any obvious transcription errors you notice
- Return a clean, accurately timed TXT file for each of the 16 programmes
What we're looking for
- Excellent attention to detail for timecode accuracy
- Ability to align timecodes precisely by listening
- Willingness to follow a provided example format exactly
The finished transcripts are used alongside the audio in an editing environment, so accurate timecodes make it quick to find any moment of speech.
