What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can deliver court-ready transcripts and broadcast-ready captions using ASR post-editing, strict legal/captioning standards, and precise time-coded formatting—consistently meeting tight deadlines.

I’m a detail-oriented legal transcription professional and multilingual captioner with over 10 years of experience producing high-accuracy transcripts and captions for legal, corporate, educational, and broadcast use. I specialize in transforming complex audio into court-ready documents and broadcast-ready captions while meeting strict deadlines.

In my recent roles, I create time-coded captions (SDH), edit and review AI-generated transcripts and captions for grammar, timing, speaker identification, and punctuation, and maintain strict confidentiality with sensitive audio and video. I bring strong accuracy, accessibility-focused formatting, and ASR post-editing skills to deliver reliable work across high-volume, multi-speaker projects.
