To me transcription is not just a job but a passion; I love transcribing!! This burning passion has enabled me to transcribe thousands of audio and video hours not only here at Upwork, but also on other top transcription sites. I am very keen to pick jobs that I can achieve 100% accuracy and deliver on or before the agreed Turn Around Time (TAT). While I can handle different accents, I'm perfect with the American, British and Australian accents.
