1. Role Overview

2. What You Will Do
- Listen to 2-speaker audio recordings in Runasimi (Quechua)
- Type out what each speaker says, accurately and in full
- Label each speaker turn as Speaker 1 or Speaker 2, matching the audio channel
- Add timestamps at the start of each speaker turn (format: HH:MM:SS)
- Ensure transcripts are sequential with no unexplained gaps
3. Requirements
- Native or near-native fluency in Runasimi (Quechua) (spoken and written)

- Ability to work independently and meet daily output targets
- Access to a computer with a stable internet connection
- Availability for at least 4 hours per day
- Prior transcription experience is a plus but not required — all contributors must pass a qualification test
4. Quality Standard
- Word Error Rate (WER) of 5% or less on all delivered transcripts
