Praat/TextGrid QA Review for Completed MFA Corpus - Small Bounded Task

I am looking for a Praat / TextGrid / phonetics / forced-alignment specialist to complete a small independent QA review of a completed MFA corpus. This is not a rebuild, not a new alignment pass, not transcription, not audio editing, and not a full manual review of the entire corpus. The MFA/forced-alignment/corpus-preparation work has already been completed. The review packet is already organized and includes: - Prepared flagged/questionable audio items for human-listening review - 15 excluded audio/text mismatch items to confirm; - Selected WAV/TextGrid pairs for Praat word/phone boundary spot-checking - A pronunciation/OOV shortlist; - Prior technical QA summaries and manifests. The actual listening material for this first review is approximately 30–35 minutes total. The goal is not to search through the full corpus, but to independently confirm the prepared review items, make reasonable minor corrections or disposition notes within that prepared review set, and provide a short QA memo. The deliverable is a brief QA memo with one of the following conclusions: PASS PASS WITH EXCLUSIONS PASS WITH MINOR CORRECTIONS CORRECTIONS REQUIRED Please also include brief notes on any corrected, questionable, or excluded items. Required experience: - Praat - TextGrid review - Word/phone boundary inspection - Forced alignment / Montreal Forced Aligner or similar - Phonetics, speech corpus QA, linguistics, or speech annotation experience Expected scope: This is intended as a small bounded review, ideally 1–2 hours of work, with a 24–48 hour turnaround after receiving the prepared review packet. Please do not apply if you intend to price this as a full corpus audit, full MFA rebuild, transcription project, or broad production engagement.
