What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote work where I can apply Hindi linguistic QA—pronunciation, prosody, and grammar—to validate and improve speech/text datasets for AI. I want a team that values precise guideline-driven annotation and consistent, audit-ready quality.

I’m a Native Hindi speaker and detail-oriented Language Annotation Expert with 3+ years of hands-on experience in data annotation, linguistic QA, transcription, and AI training datasets. I validate and refine speech and text data for AI model development, including direct work at SPIRE Lab, IISc Bangalore. I’m equally comfortable collaborating in remote environments while maintaining strict attention to linguistic quality.

In my Speech Evaluator & Data QA Specialist role, I validated, annotated, and corrected datasets using systematic QA processes to ensure linguistic accuracy. I identify and flag errors in speech outputs—pronunciation, prosody, and transcription mismatches—while keeping consistency across large, deadline-driven projects. I also manage annotation workflows and documentation, including version control and QA review across multiple concurrent tasks, while following complex multi-step guidelines.

I bring added strengths from Hindi editorial and localization work and from subtitling projects. As a Hindi Translator & Content Specialist, I ensure grammatical correctness, tonal appropriateness, and cultural relevance, and I focus on natural, idiomatic Hindi. I’m excited to contribute my expertise in Hindi phonetics, prosody, and grammar to Rime AI’s next-generation voice technology platform.
