MT-Ilocano-Linguist

Voxcroft

VoxCroft Analytics builds language technology for low-resource languages across the globe for a variety of applications. We believe that communities should be able to interact online in their native tongues and not mediate the world through acquired foreign languages. At least half of the world’s 7,000 languages (and the respective cultural identities they represent) face extinction over the next 10-20 years unless we enhance their visibility and recognize their crucial role in shaping identity and participation in public life. Languages that enter the space of digital transformation stand a greater chance of survival.

VoxCroft is looking for speakers of Ilocano to participate in a Corpus Creation Project to build bilingual language data sets that will be used to train and build language models. Native speakers of Ilocano will be required to complete the following tasks:

  • Translate sentences from Ilocano to English
  • Translate sentences from English to Ilocano
  • Transcribe audio content into Ilocano
  • Translate Ilocano transcribed sentences to English
  • Record themselves reading sentences in English and Ilocano
  • Assess sentences transcribed/translated by peers using VoxCroft’s quality matrix
  • Improve the quality of transcribed/translated sentences, where necessary

Potential candidates:

  • Do not need to be professional translators but must display language proficiency in translating written English sentences accurately into Ilocano and from Ilocano into good quality English.
  • Must portray excellent attention to detail and a good grasp of the spelling and grammar rules in their mother tongue.
  • Must be available to work at least 15 hours per week over 3-4 months.
