My current expertise as a freelancer is in the fields of AI training (including prompt writing and prompt evaluation, voice prompting, TTS (text-to-speech models), data annotation, domain phrasing localization, audio quality evaluation, speech synthesis output evaluation etc), translation, voice-over recording, audio and video editing in Kannada. Artificial Intelligence training and evaluation ---------- I've been involved in several AI training related projects in Upwork. This includes 1. Training a virtual assistant (domain phrasing localization) 2. Speech synthesis evaluation (intonation, acronyms, ordinals, numbers) 3. AI translated output (text) evaluation (grammar, sentence formation, preservation of original intent, emotion) 4. Voice Prompting and TTS (text-to-speech models) 5. Voice-over evaluation My career as a professional journalist in the Kannada electronic media industry lasted 8 years. Details of my professional experience are available below in the Employment History section. My areas of expertise and specializations include: Voice-Over ---------- 1. I host a YouTube Channel (BannadaChitte) of short Kannada Stories (less than 5 minutes each). I record the stories in my own voice and I publish every week. This has given me continuous and regular experience with voice-over. 2. I have successfully completed several voice-over projects on UpWork. Content Writing -------- Content writing is my strongest skill. It has not only been my profession, but also my passion. I've continued my journey into content writing even after I quit my daily job. I regularly write articles for leading Kannada publications. I have two weapons that make the content I write shine: 1. My experience in field reporting, which gives me unique perspective into the daily lives of people from all strata of society (more details in the section on "Field Reporting" below) 2. I've stayed in Europe for 4 years, which gives me insight into different lifestyles and cultures. Many of my articles stem from a combination of these factors. For example, one of my articles published in Sudha magazine (the title of which translates to "Before embarking to distant shores"), talks about what are the factors one should consider before migrating abroad. Field reporting -------- I have 5 years of experience in field reporting. I reported on a wide variety of events, ranging from the mundane, all the way to the extraordinary. In a typical day at work I would interact with people from all walks of life - the poorest labourers to celebrities and even the Chief Minister. Translation to Kannada -------- I started my journey in the media world as a copy editor and copy writer. I have 3 years experience in this area. This is the job which gave me exposure to translation from English to Kannada and Hindi to Kannada. I've translated national and international news to Kannada. Fiction and non-fiction -------- Besides writing professionally, I also write stories and non-fiction as a hobby. I write in both short and long formats and several of these have been published in Kannada publications. My experience staying abroad has given me the opportunity to write several travelogues.

If you need someone who's reliable, communicative and committed to delivering exceptional work, then you've found the right person. Hereโs what to expect if you hire me for proofreading and editing: โ๏ธ Accuracy, clarity and attention to detail โ๏ธ Prompt and straightforward communication โ๏ธ A quick turnaround without compromising on quality Contact me and I'll ensure that your text is as perfect as possible. Isabelle Anne Abraham === SERVICE DESCRIPTION === 1. I'll first take a look at your document to determine which level of editing it requires: ๐ธ Proofreading (polishing) Before your writing is published, it needs a final reviewโbeyond a simple spellcheck. Iโll correct typographical errors (typos/misprints) as well as formatting errors in spacing, headings, page numbers, captions, table of contents, footnotes, etc. I'll double-check design elements, and if specified, Iโll also ensure that the text conforms to a style guide. ๐ธ Light editing (adjusting) Also known as copy-editing, this is usually what most people require. Iโll correct spelling, grammar, punctuation and problems with syntax / sentence structure. Iโll also check for consistency in style and tone, making sure that the text is concise and flows smoothly. ๐ธ Heavy editing (overhauling) Others refer to this as line editing or content editing. Whatever you want to call it, this includes any or all of the following: heavy editing, rewording and sometimes structural editing. I also check for ambiguities, repetitiveness, inappropriate diction, etc. Although I don't offer complete rewrites, I can rephrase where necessaryโwhile maintaining your voice and keeping your target reader in mind. 2. Select a style guide to be applied to your text: โข Associated Press Stylebook (AP 2017) โข Chicago Manual of Style (CMoS 17th ed.) โข In-house style guide (if you have one) โข New Oxford Style Manual (2016) โข Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA 7th ed.) 3. Choose American English or British English. I've worked with both throughout my life, so either can be used for your specific audience. 4. Pick a platform on which you'd like me to work: โข MS Word (using Track Changes if requested), Excel or PowerPoint โข A basic text editor like Notepad โข Google Docs (using Suggestions mode if requested) โข Adobe Acrobat Reader (using the Comment tools) โข Directly in your CMS (Google Sites, Squarespace, Weebly, Wix, WordPress) โข Print, correct and scan (for an extra fee) === WORK TERMS === โ I'm available for up to 30 hours a week, including weekends. โ Urgent deadlines can be prioritizedโpreferably with advance notice. โ I can work on both short- and long-term projects, with individuals or teams. โ Confidentiality is guaranteed; I'm willing to sign an NDA before commencing the work. โ I prefer communicating through Upwork, email or online collaboration tools (Basecamp, Slack, Trello, Wrike, etc.). === PROOFREADING & EDITING BACKGROUND + PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE === Iโm a native English speaker and have always been interested in the written word. I started editing in primary school, where a few classmates would pay me to check their homework before they submitted it to the teacher! I earned my Bachelor of Journalism from Rhodes University in South Africa, where I specialized in Writing & Editing, majored in English Literature, and took a course in English Language & Linguistics. Additionally, I was part of the campus newspaper's editorial team as a chief sub-editor and subsequently deputy editor-in-chief. Since then, I've collaborated with numerous authors, businesses and other professionals to make their writing as flawless as it can be. The variety of projects that I've worked on includes: โข Flyers, brochures, emails and letters โข Federal government bids and grant proposals โข Academic papers (essays, dissertations, theses, etc.) โข Scientific articles, technical reports and product manuals โข Mobile apps, video scripts, online courses and card games โข Legal documents such as contracts and patent applications โข Ebooks, printed books (non-fiction) and childrenโs literature โข Translations and texts written by non-native English speakers โข Blogs, news articles, website content and marketing materials โข CVs/resumes, cover letters, personal statements and LinkedIn profiles โข Business plans & presentations, pitch decks, white papers and case studies === ADDITIONAL EDITORIAL SERVICES === โข Content management: managing publishing schedules; assigning content to writers and providing them with feedback โข Style guide development: creating an in-house style guide or improving/expanding an existing one โข Search engine optimization in WordPress: adding sub-headings, titles, tags, image texts, meta description, focus keyword; improving SEO and Readability score โข Writing: articles and blog content (with attribution) โข Transcribing: verbatim or edited transcripts for a range of English accents
