We are looking for PDF Annotation & Transcription Experts – Gujarati candidates for a project delivered through Mercor.
What you'll do
- Open and check a task, confirming the page is in Gujarati, is legible, has real content, and shows no personal details.
- Annotate page structure by identifying and bounding every meaningful region, assigning a component type and reading-order index.
- Record relationships between regions and figures or tables using a parent component identifier.
- Transcribe all text exactly as it appears in Gujarati script, including handwritten content, and flag illegible regions.
- Capture page metadata including language, document type, source, page dimensions, and flags for tables, formulas, and handwriting.
- Review a colleague's work as a second Gujarati expert.
What you need
- Native Gujarati speaker with full command of the script, its diacritics and its conjunct forms.
- Experience working with documents in roles such as annotation, transcription, translation, localization, subtitling, proofreading, journalism, or regional-language data review.
- Possess a high level of accuracy, where character-level precision is prioritized over speed, and even a single incorrect diacritic is considered a defect.
- Systematic approach to applying a taxonomy consistently across documents.
- Comfortable working with unfamiliar layouts such as multi-column newspapers, exam papers, and handwritten forms.
Nice to have
- Specialty in regional-language AI data, including annotation, labeling, grading, or bilingual evaluation for training datasets.
- Specialty in transcription and localization tasks such as MTPE, subtitling, bilingual QA, OCR correction, or post-editing.
- Specialty in document production processes like typesetting, copy-editing, proofreading, or digitization of Gujarati-language material.
- Specialty in script and encoding, including Unicode normalization, Gujarati input methods, and ensuring numeral-form and character-form accuracy.
