Scripts and recording instructions will be provided. Zoom is the preferred method for recording the conversations. Audacity is the preferred tool for converting audio files to the required sample rates and for verifying signal-to-noise ratio compliance. Recording Scope Target volume: 200 hours of audio per locale Per pair output: 1.2 hours of recorded audio Quality acceptance: Minimum 80% usable speech hours Compensation (USD – Per Pair, 2 Speakers) All rates below are paid in United States Dollars (USD) and apply to one hour of final audio (30 minutes per speaker).

I believe I’m a strong candidate for this subtitling project because I have a solid understanding of both Malay and English, and I’m able to translate meaning accurately rather than just word-for-word. Living in Ireland for the past five years has significantly strengthened my English comprehension, especially in terms of natural phrasing, tone, and context. I’m also very detail-oriented, which is important for subtitling work, since timing, clarity, and cultural nuance all matter. I make sure translations are not only accurate but also easy for the target audience to understand and follow. In addition, I’m comfortable working independently, meeting deadlines, and maintaining consistency across long-form content. I take language work seriously and always aim to deliver subtitles that feel natural, fluent, and true to the original message.
