As a Volunteer Transcriber, you will play a vital role in ensuring the voices of our veterans are preserved for future generations. You will transcribe audio interviews into accurate, high-quality written records that are accessible, readable, and valuable for educational and research purposes.
Many of the interviews already feature AI-generated transcripts, but these lack the nuance and accuracy that only a human touch can provide. By transcribing interviews, you will enhance the quality of our archive and help honour the experiences of the veterans we serve.
What the Role Involves
- Listening to recorded oral history interviews and typing what is said into a transcript template
- Helping to make interviews more searchable and accessible
- Checking spelling, names and military terms where needed
- Working carefully and respectfully with personal memories and historical testimony
