I have several recordings spoken entirely in Swahili that I need converted into clear, well-structured English text. Your task is two-fold: first produce an accurate Swahili transcript, then translate that transcript into natural, idiomatic English. The dialogue is everyday conversation, so you won’t run into specialised jargon—just be mindful of correct spelling for common names and places that may come up.
Please keep speaker tags and time stamps modest (every 30–45 seconds is fine) so the text can later be aligned to video if needed. I’m happy with delivery in either a clean Word document or an SRT/VTT file; let me know which you prefer. If you use tools such as Aegisub, Subtitle Edit, or Express Scribe, feel free, but the final output must read as if created by a fluent human translator.
Acceptance criteria
• Complete Swahili verbatim transcript
• Corresponding English translation directly underneath or in a side-by-side format
• Consistent time stamps that match the supplied audio
• Proof-read, punctuation checked, ready to publish without extra editing
If this sounds straightforward for you and you can turn around high-quality work quickly, I look forward to collaborating.
