  • Maintain steady productivity and reliability throughout the project.

Workload & Commitment

  • We are flexible, but ideally contributors can dedicate at least 20 hours per week.
  • Work can be completed at any time of day as long as weekly hours and quality levels are met.
  • Expert-level fluency in Malay, including familiarity with regional accents and informal speech.
  •  Strong listening comprehension and attention to detail.
  • Ability to produce verbatim transcriptions, including stutters, repetitions, and filler words.
  •  Experience in transcription, annotation, or linguistics is an advantage.
  • Comfortable using browser-based tools (training will be provided).
  • Reliable internet connection.
  • Access to a laptop or desktop computer (mobile devices are not supported).
  • Reliable availability for 20+ hours per week.
  • Work volume is flexible, with approximately 4 hours of work available per day.
