What I'm looking for

I’m looking to support AI language model progress through high-quality audio segmentation and transcript refinement. I want remote, quality-driven work where accuracy matters, deliverables follow strict guidelines, and my Bengali/English skills turn data into reliable training material.

I’m a highly detail-oriented transcription specialist and data annotator focused on improving Bengali audio quality for AI language model development. I transcribe, review, and refine transcripts with an emphasis on syntax, grammar, and context.

Since 2024, I’ve worked as a Freelance Transcriptionist & Data Annotator (Remote/Independent Contractor). I’ve transcribed and reviewed over 50 hours of Bengali audio, modifying machine-generated outputs to reach 99% accuracy.

I also handle audio segmentation and labeling to train speech recognition algorithms, ensuring deliverables meet strict quality guidelines and formatting standards. Through my language research volunteering, I sharpened my ear for accents and speech patterns and improved transcription speed by 25%.

I’m currently studying communication, human behavior, and analytical reporting at Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP). I bring critical listening, extreme attention to detail, and strong time management to remote projects, and I’m eager to keep raising the quality bar for transcription and dataset work.
