Are you detail-oriented, tech-savvy, and passionate about making information accessible to everyone? Join our Document Accessibility Services (DAS) team as an Accessibility Transcription Specialist, where your work directly impacts the lives of people with disabilities. You'll be part of a dedicated crew transforming everyday documents into inclusive, alternate formats like braille, large print, audio, and more. Whether you're fine-tuning a document to meet strict accessibility standards or lending your expertise to a teammate, no two days are the same. You'll thrive in this role if you're organized, curious, and eager to learn the ins and outs of transcription, digital remediation, and industry compliance (like Unified English Braille (UEB) and WCAG). Bonus points if you've got a flair for desktop publishing or accessibility already! At Crawford Technologies, we believe work should be meaningful-and a little fun too. If you're someone who takes pride in precision, enjoys learning new tech skills, and doesn't mind the occasional late shift, this could be your perfect fit.
