About Unify America

Unify America’s mission is to replace political fighting with problem-solving. We design experiences that help Americans practice civic skills, learn from one another, and work together on solutions to the country’s biggest challenges.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Transcript QA Reviewer to help us understand how accurately our platform captures real-world conversations.

In our programs, students participate in structured one-on-one conversations about complex civic topics. These conversations are automatically transcribed. Your role is to carefully compare transcripts to video recordings and help us determine how reliable those transcripts actually are.

This is focused, detail-oriented work. It’s a great fit for someone who is patient, precise, and enjoys spotting patterns and inconsistencies.

What You’ll Do

• Watch recorded student conversations and compare them to their corresponding transcripts

• Identify and document transcription errors, including:

  • missing or dropped words

  • incorrect phrasing

  • speaker misattribution

  • moments where meaning is unclear or distorted

• Tag and categorize types of errors to help us understand patterns

• Help define what “good enough” transcript quality looks like for our use case

Qualities and Experience You Have, Ideally

• Experience with transcription, captioning, or QA work

• Extremely detail-oriented and methodical

• Strong listening comprehension and ability to track conversational nuance

• Comfortable working independently on repetitive but important tasks

• Clear communicator—able to document findings in a structured way

What Success Looks Like

• We have a clear understanding of transcript accuracy and failure patterns

• Error types are well-documented and easy for the team to interpret

• We can confidently answer: “Is this good enough for our purposes?”

Role Details

• Hours: 10–20 hours per week for ~4–8 weeks

• Fully remote

• Flexible schedule, but consistent progress expected
