What this role involves

Location: Remote. Open to contributors based in India, the United States, Canada, or Western Europe only. Fluent Language Skills Required: Telugu. Native fluency in Telugu, including full command of Telugu script and orthography, is required for this position. All annotation and transcription work is performed in Telugu. Document understanding breaks down fastest in the languages that parsing and vision-language models rarely see.

This project builds training data for exactly those languages: Telugu, alongside four other Indic scripts, Japanese and Korean. Each task takes a real, publicly available PDF page and produces a complete structural map of that page, paired with a faithful transcription of every text region in the original script. The dataset deliberately concentrates on the material models handle worst: handwriting, dense multi-column layouts, tables, diagrams, and mixed-script pages.

Documents are drawn from newspapers, textbooks, examinations, and everyday formats such as flyers, forms, manuals, menus, brochures, notices and worksheets, so that the corpus reflects the real diversity of Telugu documents rather than a narrow band of easily parsed ones. Delivered work is human-authored throughout. Component identification, component typing, reading order and all transcription are performed by people, not generated by parsing models.
