What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote freelance work where I can translate English↔Swahili, transcribe audio, and deliver culturally natural localization with time-synced subtitles, careful proofreading, and fast, reliable turnaround.

I’m a detail-oriented Freelance Translator & Language Specialist focused on English ↔ Swahili translation, transcription, and localization. I handle technical, educational, media, and general content with strict accuracy, cultural nuance, and tight turnaround deadlines.

From 2025 to present, I’ve worked as a Freelance Translator & Audio Transcriber doing audio transcription, subtitling and captioning, and proofreading/editing for video media—using AI-assisted transcription verification and online global platforms like Upwork and LXT. Since 2024, I’ve also supported digital content through fast, accurate typing, document formatting in tools like MS Word/Google Docs, and careful proofreading and adaptation for targeted Swahili-speaking audiences.
