Transcriber (Transcription QA)-Remote Freelance / Independent Contract

Transcriber (Transcription QA)

Remote Freelance / Independent Contractor Role

Join a global team supporting financial market intelligence by reviewing real-world corporate events. This role is ideal for detail-oriented individuals who thrive on accuracy, independent work, and flexible, project-based schedules.

Company Overview

JPX Market Innovation & Research, Inc. (JPXI) is a non-exchange subsidiary of Japan Exchange Group, Inc., focused on developing market services that improve functionality and efficiency across financial markets.

Through the SCRIPTS Asia platform, JPXI provides investor relations documentation, event transcripts, and data coverage for regional corporate events.

The production team relies on a network of remote, freelance transcription and editing specialists to ensure high-quality, accurate documentation of financial meetings, earnings calls, and corporate presentations.

Job Description & Nature of Work

• Employment Type: Freelance / Independent Contractor (Non-Full Time). This is a work-at-home role; while it is not a full-time position, successful hires may work with us long-term as independent contractors.
• Work Schedule: Flexible / Project-Based. Contractors submit their available work hours and may apply for specific audio assignments from the company queue as projects become available. Assignment is based on project needs and availability.
• Seasonal Availability: Work volume fluctuates throughout the year, with peak demand typically occurring in late January to February, late April to May, late July to August, and late October to November.
• Core Objective: Review recorded corporate events and systematically proofread machine-generated transcripts against the source audio, ensuring accuracy in content, grammar, and terminology.

Key Responsibilities

• Transcript Quality Assurance: Correct spelling, punctuation, and formatting errors while aligning transcripts with the spoken dialogue. Follow the internal SCRIPTS Asia Style Guide.
• Financial & Corporate Terminology: Research and accurately identify company names, executive speakers, product names, and industry-specific terminology.
• Turnaround Management: Maintain consistent productivity to meet deadlines within fast-paced financial reporting cycles.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Technical Efficiency: Ability to maintain a 4:1 completion ratio (e.g., complete QA editing of a 60-minute audio file within 4 hours or less).
• Language Proficiency: Near-native or fluent English with strong listening comprehension, including the ability to understand diverse accents, fast speech, and variable audio quality.
• Equipment: A secure personal computer (PC or Mac), high-quality headphones, a reliable high-speed internet connection, and a licensed copy of Microsoft Word are required. Microsoft Word is mandatory to help avoid layout and formatting issues common with alternative office tools.
• Audio Playback Recommendation: Tools such as Express Scribe or InqScribe, along with hotkeys or a foot pedal, are not required but are strongly recommended. These tools improve efficiency when controlling playback (pausing, rewinding, and navigating audio).
• Availability: Ability to provide structured weekly availability (preferred days and working hours), aligned with corporate reporting cycles.

Compensation Structure

• Base Rate: JPY 3,000 for the first 30 minutes of audio.
• Additional Minutes: JPY 100 per additional audio minute beyond the first 30 minutes.

Sample Computation

For a 60-minute audio assignment, the computation would be as follows:

• First 30 minutes: JPY 3,000
• Additional 30 minutes: JPY 3,000
• Total: JPY 6,000
• Payments are made via bank transfer (WISE).
