About the work

Historical Urdu is written by hand-trained scribes in Nastaliq, where letters stack diagonally and diacritics decide meaning. It is the script frontier models misread most often in our benchmark.

What you will do

  • Compare two or more Urdu transcriptions with the scan and decide what the page actually says
  • Correct diacritics, spacing, joining and punctuation at character level
  • Record every decision so buyers can audit how the ground truth was set
  • Coach transcriptionists with specific, written feedback

What we are looking for

  • Expert reading of Urdu, including classical vocabulary and older spelling
  • Proven proofreading, editing or teaching experience
  • Meticulous attention to detail and clear written English

Nice to have

  • Degree in languages, literature or linguistics
  • Experience reading manuscripts
