Lerato Masihleho
@leratomasihleho
Experienced transcriber and captioner with strong attention to detail and time management.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated transcriber and video captioner with five years of freelance experience converting audio and video into accurate, accessible text. I consistently meet tight deadlines while ensuring high-quality editing, proofreading, and caption synchronization for diverse projects.
My roles have sharpened my attention to detail, typing speed, and ability to think on my feet under pressure. I take pride in delivering clear, industry-standard transcriptions and captions tailored for accessibility and clarity.
Previously, I served as an Electoral Officer for the IEC, where I supported voter guidance, coordinated voting processes at station level, and implemented organizational policies—experiences that reinforced teamwork, multitasking, and accountability.
I am seeking an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to an organization where I can apply my transcription, captioning, and administrative skills while continuing to grow professionally and support effective communication.
