Detail-oriented annotator and language specialist with 3+ years experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented annotator and language specialist with over three years of experience in data annotation, transcription, and linguistic quality assurance. My expertise lies in improving machine learning models through precise labeling, voice data recording, and transcription work. I am bilingual in English and Swahili, which enhances my communication and collaboration abilities, making me adaptable to fast-paced AI and NLP project environments.
In my recent role at Telus International, I recorded voice utterances in Swahili to train speech recognition models, ensuring clear pronunciation and consistent pacing. My previous experience as a transcriptionist at GoTranscript allowed me to hone my skills in transcribing audio files with high accuracy, leading to a promotion to editor based on my performance. I have also worked as an annotator at TransPerfect, where I labeled and annotated linguistic data to support AI model training and developed my QA skills.
