On October 25, 2026 our feed held 13 live listings that require Ukrainian, from 5 platforms. 10 state an hourly rate in the feed, and 6 of those are Meridial's, one for each of six countries. It is a small market, so this is a short guide. Every number comes from the listings themselves.
Where the listings are open
The countries the listings name are Poland (4), Ukraine (3), the United States (2) and Canada (2), then Italy, Germany, Kazakhstan, Moldova and Spain with one each. 2 listings state no country restriction. Meridial's six Ukrainian Language Specialist listings are for the United States, Canada, Poland, Italy, Germany and Spain, so a speaker living outside Ukraine can still match one. Our Poland and Canada pages list the roles that name each country.
What the work is
Transcription
Braintrust's Podcast Audio Transcription Specialist role states $85, and it is careful to say what that means: the rate is paid per completed transcription hour, meaning an hour of audio, not the time you spend working, and the actual time to finish one transcription hour varies with your experience. The role is to turn Ukrainian podcast audio into accurate, formatted transcripts, identifying speakers and meeting turnaround times. The text says it is fully remote and open to candidates worldwide, although our feed tags it for Ukraine.
Evaluation and language review
SME Careers lists a Ukrainian Language Expert at up to $20 an hour, open to Ukraine, and a Ukrainian team lead who oversees quality at up to $30, open to Canada, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Poland and Ukraine. Welo Data lists a Generative AI Content Analyst for Ukrainian professionals based in Poland at $10 an hour, an AI Trainers Network listing in Poland, and an English to Ukrainian review lead for UI, marketing and product content that is open worldwide. The last two state no rate.
Recording and language specialists
AfterQuery wants Ukrainian-accented English speakers for a recording of about 15 minutes, paid at $50 flat per submission, with only 3 to 5 speakers wanted for the accent (the feed shows $30 an hour). Meridial's six listings state a range of $8 up to $65 an hour, with the exact rate set after evaluating your experience, expertise and geographic location.
What the listings state
| Platform | Listings | What the listings state | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meridial | 6 | $8 up to $65/hr | One per country; rate set by experience and location |
| Welo Data | 3 | $10/hr (Poland); no rate on 2 | Poland, or worldwide for the review lead |
| SME Careers | 2 | Up to $20 and up to $30/hr | Ceilings only |
| Braintrust | 1 | $85 per completed transcription hour | Per hour of audio, not per hour worked |
| AfterQuery | 1 | $50 flat per submission | Feed shows $30/hr |
The catches
- Per audio hour is not per hour worked. Braintrust's $85 is for each hour of audio you transcribe, so your hourly earnings depend on how fast you work.
- Ceilings are not offers. Meridial's $65 is the top of a range that starts at $8, and SME Careers publishes ceilings only.
- Most listings are tied to a country. Check whether yours is named before you apply.
- Some listings state no pay. Two of Welo Data's three do not.
- The feed can differ from the text. AfterQuery pays a flat $50 per submission, not $30 an hour.
Common questions
Do I need to live in Ukraine?
No. Listings name Poland, Canada, the United States, Germany, Italy, Spain, Kazakhstan and Moldova as well as Ukraine, and Braintrust's transcription role says it is open worldwide.
Which platform should I try first?
For a clear task with a stated rate, Welo Data's Poland role or Braintrust's transcription work if you are comfortable being paid per audio hour. For breadth across countries, Meridial. Compare them on the pay report and see our bilingual speakers guide.
