What I'm looking for

I'm looking for transcription, editing, translation, or linguistic quality work where I can apply rigorous guideline compliance, multilingual accuracy, terminology research, and independent remote delivery.

I transcribe and edit German audio for GoTranscript, producing accurate, structured text from interviews, discussions, and formal recordings.

I've progressed from transcriber to editor by consistently reviewing transcripts for omissions, mistranscriptions, formatting, language accuracy, and client-specific guideline compliance. I maintain a 4.6/5 quality rating while working independently to deadline.

I work across German, English, Pashto, and Persian recordings, including medical, legal, education, and research content. My process includes speaker identification, timestamps, non-speech tags, terminology research, and verbatim or clean-verbatim standards.

I've also translated over 28,000 words of natural-science course content from English into Pashto through Coursera and translated, captioned, and reviewed educational videos for TED-Ed. I focus on preserving meaning, clarity, cultural relevance, and linguistic accuracy.
