• Assign reading-order indices and link related regions to their parent figure or table.
• Transcribe all text exactly as shown in Gujarati script, including handwritten text, and flag content that is not legible.
• Record page metadata, including language, document type, source, page dimensions, and indicators for tables, formulas, and handwriting.
• Review another contributor''s work end to end when assigned as an experienced annotator.

• All annotation and transcription work is performed in Gujarati.
• Experience with document-focused work such as annotation, transcription, translation, localization, subtitling, proofreading, journalism, or regional-language data review.
• Character-level precision, including accurate diacritics, is essential.
• Ability to apply a consistent taxonomy across many pages and work confidently with unfamiliar layouts, including multi-column newspapers, exam papers, and handwritten forms.

Preferred Experience

• Regional-language AI data work, including annotation, labeling, grading, or bilingual evaluation for training datasets.
• MTPE, subtitling, bilingual QA, OCR correction, or post-editing.

• Unicode normalization, Gujarati input methods, and numeral and character-form accuracy.

Compensation

• $12.68 per hour.

Quality Expectations
