Main skills
What the interview asks about
1.Handling regional Portuguese variation
Transcribers must recognize and render variations without imposing standardization.
For example: “An audio sample mixes Brazilian Portuguese colloquialisms with European pronunciation. How would you transcribe this authentically?”
2.Transcribing overlapping dialogue
Real conversation has simultaneity; your approach to capturing this shows professionalism.
For example: “Two speakers talk over each other for 3 seconds. Walk through how you would transcribe this and note it for AI training.”
3.Identifying transcription ambiguity
You catch when audio is genuinely unclear versus when you should re-listen.
For example: “A speaker mumbles a word that could be two different Portuguese words. How would you handle and document this?”
4.Quality control and self-review
Your personal QA process determines whether errors reach training data.
For example: “After transcribing 10 files, how would you spot and fix your own recurring mistakes?”
