Joseph W.

Top Rated Multilingual Expert | Transcription, Translation & Editorial

Stop juggling multiple freelancers just to get a single Pacific region project localized. As a top-rated specialist with a track record of delivering end-to-end quality, I take your content all the way from raw text and audio to a publication-ready final draft. You won't need a separate transcriber, translator, and editor—I manage the entire pipeline myself. Working fluently across Samoan, Pijin, Tok Pisin, and English, I go beyond word-for-word translation to protect your brand voice, regional context, and cultural nuances. Whether it's corporate webinars, technical or legal interviews, or video subtitles (SRT/VTT), I handle the heavy lifting. Translation Rates Standard: $0.05 / word (general documents) Specialized (Technical, Legal, Medical, Creative): $0.08–$0.12+/word Transcription Rates Standard: $0.50 / audio minute (clear audio, 1–2 speakers, clean verbatim) Complex: $0.80 – $1.50 / audio minute (poor audio, multiple speakers, heavy cross-talk, or strict verbatim with timestamps) Save yourself the extra hiring costs and time. Hit "Hire Me" and let's get your project done right. Cheers, Joseph
