About the work

Ground truth is the answer key that AI reading systems are scored against. A single wrong diacritic in the key penalises a correct model, so every page passes a second expert reader before release.

What you will do

  • Compare each transcribed line with the page image and correct every error
  • Check diacritics, spacing, punctuation and letter joins against our conventions
  • Score transcribers' work and write short, specific feedback
  • Escalate unreadable or disputed passages to a paleographer

What we are looking for

  • Native or near-native reading of Urdu, Persian or Arabic in print and handwriting
  • Proven proofreading, editing or transcription experience
  • Close attention to small details over long sessions
  • A laptop or desktop and a stable internet connection

Nice to have

  • Experience with manuscripts, lithographs or old newspapers
  • Prior QA work on OCR or annotation projects
