"Excellent work from Washingtone. It's a pleasure working with a professional like him. We look forward to the next project together." "Always great to work with Washingtone. Professional, timely, and easy to communicate with." These are clients' feedback. My transcription rate is easy, starting from $0.8 - $1 a minute transcribed!! My FIXED RATE per HOUR of AUDIO/VIDEO is 48$ total!! With my eight years of experience, I turn videos and audio into print-ready texts. These could be from podcasts, training videos, meetings, focus group discussions, lectures, webinars, and audiobooks, among others. For clients that need subtitles, I'll be at your service. You will get your subtitles in SRT, WebVTT, SCC, XML, and STL among others. I have more than five years of experience working as a transcriber with several companies and I have transcribed more than 1,000 hours. My focus is on transcribing and translating different English-English, English-Swahili English-Luo, and vice versa. My strengths include excellent communication skills, commitment, and competence in offering quality services. My proficiency, manifested by the high-quality work I deliver to my clients just shows how I value perfection. The majority of my customers have been with me long-term as my aim is to foster business relationships. One of the ways to do this is by providing high-quality work and delivering it to my clients on time in the formats that they need. Why do you need Captions/Subtitles for your videos? This helps your videos get a longer viewing time and therefore pass on the message it intended to pass engagements. Captions also help your videos perform better on search engines. Most media consumers also like to watch videos with the sound turned off. This will therefore make them watch the entire video without just watching the beginning and skipping through. I write content specifically tailored to the requirements of my clients and take a genuine interest in all the projects. I aim to deliver quality work across all genres. I look forward to discussing your writing transcription/subtitling requirements and how I could be of help to your business.
