Video Caption Auditor Expert

Pay: $20 – $30/hour
Commitment: Hourly, ~30 h/week
Field: Miscellaneous

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.
