I have a collection of more than five Shona-language audio interviews, each running between 30 and 60 minutes. I need every word faithfully transcribed and translated into clear, grammatically correct English, then delivered as separate Microsoft Word documents—one file per interview. Because the material will feed directly into an academic research project, accuracy matters more than speed. Please preserve speaker labels if obvious, note inaudible sections with time-stamps, and keep the English phrasing as close to the original meaning as possible while still sounding natural. Once I receive the final Word files, I’ll scan through them for any follow-up clarifications, so being available for a quick revision pass will be appreciated.

Hello, I’d be glad to help with the transcription and translation of your Shona-language interviews into clear, accurate academic English. I understand this content is for research, so my priority is precision over speed. I will carefully transcribe every word, translate faithfully into natural English, preserve speaker labels when identifiable, and mark any unclear audio with timestamps as requested. Each interview will be delivered as a separate, well-formatted Microsoft Word document. I work methodically on long audio files (30–60 minutes), using quality control passes to ensure grammar, spelling, and meaning are correct and consistent. I’m also available for quick revisions after delivery in case you need clarifications or adjustments. If you’d like, I can complete a short sample first to confirm the style and accuracy you expect. Thank you for considering my proposal. Hamza
