Seasoned Transcription, Closed Captioning, and Subtitling Expert

With over 8 years of experience, I specialize in delivering accurate and high-quality transcription, closed captioning, subtitling, dialogue lists, and post-production scripts for TV, streaming platforms, and web-based content. I've worked with major networks like History, Discovery, and CBC Canada, as well as platforms like Netflix, Filmhub, and Amazon Prime, ensuring compliance with their strict guidelines. I handle a wide range of formats, including SRT, WebVTT, SCC, TTML, DFXP, and more, and I'm proficient in tools like Telestream CaptionMaker, Subtitle Edit, and Ooona. My expertise also extends to translating English, Urdu, Punjabi, and Hindi for documents, videos, and captions that meet FCC and industry standards. Whether you need SDH captions, streaming subtitles, dialogue lists, post-production scripts, or translation services, I provide accurate, FCC-compliant results tailored to your project's needs. Let's connect to discuss how I can help bring your content to life!
