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.

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 4 points (from 83 before penalties). Reviewed 21 Sep 2026.
