Hire the Best Transcriptionists
in Australia

Hard working, motivated and self starting virtual assistant with experience in optimizing productivity and efficiency in various tasks. Competent, reliable and able to focus on work without supervision.

Native Cantonese speaker with fluent English, based in Melbourne, Australia. I create accurately timed SRT/VTT subtitles and clean, properly formatted transcripts — Cantonese to English, English to Cantonese, or same-language captions. My subtitles are synced properly to speech, not machine-dumped timestamps, and my translations preserve tone and colloquial meaning — critical for Cantonese, where literal translation often fails. Transcripts come verbatim or clean-read, with speaker labels and consistent formatting, and every file is proofread against the original audio before delivery. I'm currently completing an Education degree at Monash University, so precision with written language is my daily work. Also available for Cantonese/English document translation, interpreting, and language tutoring. My time zone covers both Australian and Hong Kong/Asia business hours, meaning fast turnaround and same-day communication for clients in either region. Send me your audio or video and I'll confirm timeline and a fixed quote within a few ho

I previously held an Australian PhD scholarship, undertaking research in the field of Theatre Performance. As my relationship with Self deepened, I fell out of resonance with the academic institution and began to trust Bhagavan to provide me with the right means of support that is in alignment with my sadhana. Prior to the PhD I had completed a First Class Honours degree in Australian Indigenous Studies and a Bachelor of Arts in Sustainable Development. My main focus throughout my degree was on ecological spirituality. I've been practicing and studying yoga in various forms for almost twenty years. I was also brought up in the home of a professional energy healer, so I have been immersed in the subtle aspects of reality from childhood. Currently my practice is predominantly energy based meditation and asana as well as Guru bhakti. Ideally I would like to offer something from this aspect of my life as it is where my heart and soul reside. Let me know if there's something I might be able to do for you. I'm looking forward to what adventures Bhagavan will lead us on together in this beautiful world. Arunachalam!
