@josefutomi
Detail-oriented transcription specialist delivering accurate Irish↔English translations and subtitles for AI data.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented Transcription Specialist with strong experience in audio transcription, translation, subtitling, and linguistic quality assurance. I review and refine machine-generated transcripts to ensure accuracy, clarity, and consistency, and I focus on delivering outputs that meet strict deadlines.
Since 2021, I’ve supported AI-driven speech recognition and multimedia localization work by performing audio transcription, segmentation, and precise alignment, and by translating short text segments for AI training datasets. In earlier roles at Rev and Lionbridge (TELUS AI), I created SRT subtitles with precise timing, conducted linguistic QA for transcriptions/translations/subtitles, corrected grammar and contextual errors, and ensured compliance with client transcription and localization standards.
