Message

At Lumina Linguistics Solutions, I transcribed complex French audio and video, identified speakers, and annotated acoustic events for speech recognition training datasets. I maintained 99.2% verbatim accuracy across 450+ hours of audio and aligned timestamps within 200 milliseconds.

As a freelance transcriptionist and language specialist, I provide French transcription, segmentation, and proofreading for international enterprise clients. My earlier work at Vocalis Tech Services and Aegis Language Services included French language quality assurance, localization, and time-coded transcription.
