Hire the Best Legal Transcriptionists

There's an error in your contract right now. 😬 Maybe it’s “should” where you meant “shall.” Maybe it's “Buyer” on page 2 and “Purchaser” on page 8. Maybe it's a missing comma that changes the entire meaning of a clause. You probably can’t see it – and that’s not a knock on you. Most native English speakers read what they EXPECT to see, not what’s there. After 15 years translating legal documents where every word matters and every comma could trigger an international dispute, I've trained myself to see what's THERE. Now I'm bringing that same precision to English-language legal editing. Here's the thing about legal and financial translation: you can't fake it. You can't skim. You can't rely on "it sounds about right." Every sentence is a puzzle where one wrong piece tanks the whole thing. You're constantly asking: Is this clear? Is this consistent? Could this be misread? That kind of work rewires your brain—you start seeing errors and ambiguities other people cruise right past. And now I'm using that superpower for English-language document editing. → WHAT I DO I translate, proofread and edit legal and business documents with the intensity of someone who knows what's actually at stake. Your work gets returned clean, consistent, and crystal clear. Every edit is tracked in Word so you can see exactly what changed and why. The stuff I handle often: 📄 Contracts and agreements 📄 Legal correspondence and demand letters 📄 Litigation and arbitration documents 📄 Compliance documents, compliance reports and policy drafts 📄 Corporate and transactional documents 📄 Research memos and case summaries 📄 Financial disclosures I focus on clarity, consistency, and cutting through jargon to make documents actually readable. I use BriefCatch and PerfectIt to ensure precision and style consistency throughout. Every edit comes back with Track Changes so you control the final call. → WHY MY TRANSLATION BACKGROUND MATTERS After 15 years translating legal and financial documents, I've trained myself to read what's THERE—legal concepts, nuances and context. I catch: • Inconsistent defined terms (you called them "Effective Date" on page 1 and "Commencement Date" on page 14) • Citation errors (wrong pinpoint, wrong year, wrong court) • Ambiguous language that could be interpreted multiple ways • Jargon and legalese that could be simplified, without losing the meaning • Formatting chaos (headings that don't match, numbering that skips around) • The sneaky stuff (tense shifts, ambiguous antecedents, missing serial commas that change meaning) When you've spent years making sure "within 30 days" doesn't accidentally become "after 30 days" in a billion-dollar contract, you develop an almost paranoid attention to detail. That's what you're getting. My translation background also spans commercial, financial and regulatory documents, so if your matter sits at the intersection of law and finance, I’ve likely seen something similar. Over a decade of agency work has taken me inside the documents of multinational corporations—insolvency proceedings, articles of incorporation, auditor’s opinions, annual reports—for companies like Walmart de México and others operating across Latin America. → HOW WE'LL WORK TOGETHER You send me your document → I read it like I'm the opposing counsel looking for weaknesses → I return it polished, with all edits clearly marked in Track Changes → You review, accept what works, reject what doesn't → We iterate if needed. I follow your style guide, your preferences, your specific instructions. You're the expert on the substance. I'm the expert on making sure the language doesn't undercut your argument. → THE UPWORK THING I'm still building my Upwork history—6 five-star reviews, 100% Job Success, and 10 contracts in—but my professional track record goes back 15 years, where the margin for error was zero. Native English fluency. A brain that won't let me ignore a misplaced modifier even if I wanted to. And the motivation of someone building who has everything to prove—which means I'm going to treat your project like it's the one that launches everything. I'm priced to build my portfolio while delivering senior-level attention. That window won't last forever, but it's open right now. → LET'S TALK If you need someone who'll actually READ your document instead of just running spellcheck and calling it done, let's chat. Send over the details—I'll let you know if I'm the right fit, and we'll figure out timing and pricing that works for both of us. Looking forward to making your documents bulletproof.

I am here to offer you my expert services as a transcriber. and video captioner. I have been a transcriptionist since 2010 on several different projects as well as with a few people for long-term work. I've worked on books, webinars, podcasts, radio shows, interviews, conferences; a little bit of everything, both general and medical. You can see from my feedback how happy my past clients are with my deliverables. Rates are based on number of speakers, quality of audio, and turnaround time. Prices are fair, because you certainly get what you pay for in this industry. Larger companies may be a little lower, but everything is done through automation without that personal touch. You require quality, professional, quickly delivered documents that require no editing and are public-facing ready. That is exactly what I can provide for you. Also, please note that the hourly rate listed is for 10 minutes of transcribed audio, so an hour of audio will be billed for 6 working hours. You're basically paying for a completed product, not typing speed or how long it takes to finish. Please contact me for rates for video subtitling/captioning. My turn-around time is fast; usually 48 hours or less, depending on the length of the audio. I can provide verbatim documents or those with ready-to-read edits. I do not use automated software as I do not believe it returns a quality product. Please contact me today for a quote! Thanks, Sarah Mason
