GODWIN BARASA
@godwinbarasa
Language and data specialist improving Swahili transcription and AI dataset quality through precise annotation and audio review.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented Language and Data Specialist focused on Swahili transcription, linguistic analysis, and AI data annotation. I review audio datasets, correct machine-generated transcripts, and help improve speech-to-text accuracy for AI systems.
In remote work, I maintain high precision while following strict annotation guidelines. I’m experienced in sentence restructuring for clarity and natural flow, handling dialectal variations, and ensuring consistency between audio and text outputs.
My background includes rigorous dataset evaluation and validation—checking grammar, spelling, contextual errors, and speech recognition quality. I also perform dataset formatting and consistency checks, including pairwise comparison of transcription results and feedback that supports ML training improvements.
Across roles including AI Data Annotator, Data Quality Analyst, and Content Moderator, I prioritize reliability, accuracy, and productivity under tight deadlines. I’m available for full-time or part-time remote transcription and annotation work, including long-term projects.
