Hebrew Proofreader

Upwork Managed Services is seeking experienced proofreaders to support a translation project with our client, the producer of a popular mobile app that can solve math problems instantly and provide detailed step-by-step instructions to help maximize learning. We are looking for a Hebrew proofreader to detect and correct any mistakes in the Hebrew version of the app.

Talent should be experienced at proofreading Hebrew content and have meticulous attention to detail. They should be able to detect and correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. They should also be able to make corrections that will ensure consistency in the voice and tone of content.

Please note: This is NOT a copyediting job. Proofreaders will generally only correct clear mistakes or out-of-date phrasing. They will rarely change the meaning of text (e.g., revise wording, change terms), and that will only be done with the permission of the translator or client.

Work will be performed within the client's tool.

Please submit your per-word proofreading bid. As a guideline, the average rate for this work is $0.016 per word (or $16.00 per 1000 words). You may propose a rate based on that guideline and your experience and skills.. No Upwork fees will be deducted from your earnings, meaning you will receive the full amount. We will keep track of the work you complete and pay you on a biweekly basis. Milestones that correspond to weekly assignments will be added to your contract and paid. You will not need to request payments, as you will be paid biweekly for work you complete.

The volume of work each week may fluctuate from 0-15 hours. When the volume is steady, we expect a commitment of about 15 hours/week. At this time, volume is expected to be steady for 2-3 weeks in July, little-to-nothing in August, and then picking up again the second week of September. You will be given advance notice of any changes to this timeline. You may work at times when you are available, but some of the hours should be during traditional business days (Monday-Friday).
