Position: PDF Annotation & Transcription Experts – Bengali
Type: Contract
Compensation: $13/hour
Location: Remote
Role Responsibilities
- Source documents: find a publicly accessible Bengali PDF in an assigned document type, containing at least one multimodal element (images, tables, diagrams, or handwriting), and record where you obtained it.
- Annotate structure: identify and bound every meaningful region of the page - document title, section heading, paragraph, list, table, figure, diagram, caption, formula, question, answer field - and assign each a component type and a reading-order index.
- Record relationships: link each region to the figure or table it belongs to through a parent component identifier.
- Transcribe faithfully: reproduce all text exactly as it appears in Bengali script, including handwritten content, flagging any region where the source is not legible.
- Capture page metadata: language, document type, source, page dimensions, and flags for tables, formulas, and handwriting.
- Review a colleague's work: every task is reviewed end to end by a second Bengali expert, and experienced annotators take on that review.
Qualifications
Must-Have
- Native Bengali speaker with full command of the script, its diacritics, and its conjunct forms.
- Experience with documents: annotation, transcription, translation, localization, subtitling, proofreading, journalism, or regional-language data review.
- Exact character-level accuracy; a single wrong diacritic is a defect.
- Systematic application of a taxonomy across hundreds of pages.
- Comfort with unfamiliar layouts: multi-column newspapers, exam papers, handwritten forms.
Preferred
- Regional-language AI data: annotation, labeling, grading, or bilingual evaluation for training datasets.
- Transcription and localization: MTPE, subtitling, bilingual QA, OCR correction or post-editing.
- Document production: typesetting, copy-editing, proofreading, or digitization of Bengali-language material.
- Script and encoding: Unicode normalization, Bengali input methods, numeral-form and character-form accuracy.
