Detail-oriented transcription and captioning specialist converting audio/video into accurate, synchronized transcripts for legal and media teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented transcription and captioning specialist, focused on converting audio and video into high-quality transcripts and synchronized captions with accuracy and speed. I bring strong expertise in transcription, captioning, proofreading, timestamping, speaker identification, and quality assurance, consistently protecting confidentiality.
Since 2020, I’ve delivered work across legal and media environments—transcribing court proceedings, depositions, interviews, meetings, webinars, and podcasts. In these roles, I edit and format transcripts to ensure consistency and compliance, verify legal terminology and references through research and quality checks, and meet tight deadlines in remote, fast-paced workflows.
I’ve also supported AI training by annotating, labeling, and validating data to improve model performance. I perform data classification, content categorization, sentiment analysis, and quality assurance, identifying errors, inconsistencies, and edge cases while collaborating with project teams to implement feedback.
