Freelancer Overview

Started working as a contractor in AI-related projects in 2020. The first assignment was audio editing for Lionbridge, using Pro Tools to splice, organize, label, and deliver audio data. I designed and built the workflow and also trained teams in the U.S., India, and Japan. Additionally, I later also worked for six months as a Google Ads rater with Welocalize. Other short-term projects include image annotation and recording Japanese dialogues (recorded in my private recording studio). Currently, I am engaged in transcribing Japanese audio as a part time.

Visible on the waveform is one side of a Japanese phone conversation. Below it is AI-generated transcription text. If the text is correct, it is saved as is; if incorrect, it is manually corrected and then saved. This process is repeated continuously.

Spliced approximately one-hour narrated audio files into individual utterances, applied fade-in and fade-out processing at the beginning and end of each segment, logged the speaking times for all utterances, renamed files according to specified conventions, and delivered them as tens of thousands of WAV files in batches. (Mostly Japanese, but sometimes I was also helping English team)
