Video Caption Auditor Expert
Listing verified on the platform’s official board. Last checked November 11, 2026.
We're looking for detail-oriented annotators to join a short-term, fast-moving project reviewing captions on egocentric (first-person) video — footage recorded from a head-mounted camera showing someone's hands performing everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning or crafting. You'll audit whether a written caption accurately describes what happens in a short video segment, and give each caption a clear verdict. The project is already underway, so we're prioritising people who can start quickly.
What You'll Do
For each video segment and its caption, you'll decide:
- **Approve** — the caption accurately describes the action
- **Reject** — the caption has an error, rated **Major** or **Minor**, with the reason(s), for example:
- Wrong main verb (e.g. "wring" when the person is rubbing)
- A main action that is added, missing or out of order
- Wrong object or tool, or the wrong / swapped hand (left vs. right)
- **Exclude** — the footage itself is unusable (corrupted, badly mounted camera, broken segment boundaries)
- You'll follow a detailed written guideline with clear rules and examples, and judge only what is visible in each segment.
Who We're Looking For
- **Excellent attention to detail** and patience for careful, repetitive visual review
- Reliable **left/right reasoning** from the camera wearer's point of view
- **Strong English reading comprehension** and a precise sense of word meaning (e.g. the difference between "wipe", "rub" and "scrub")
- Ability to learn a detailed guideline quickly and apply it consistently
- Good judgment on ambiguous cases
- **Nice to have:** prior experience in video annotation, data labelling, content moderation, QA, or AI training/evaluation work.
