Hello! I am a half-American native Brazilian who grew up in an English speaking household. I lived for some years with my family in the United States, where I graduated from High School. I have experience as a freelancer, having worked for such translation agencies as the EUSERE Translation Company and Lingotek Translation Services as a Portuguese-English and English-Portuguese translator/proof-reader. I have also translated and transcribed as a favor to friends and as a hobby countless times throughout my life. I am very dedicated and passionate about my work and am more than willing to prove my proficiency through any tests you would like me to take. If you would like, please contact me and I will send you some samples of my work.
My rates usually range from US$0.04 (e.g. a list of very simple, non-technical words such as "Next", "Continue", "I accept") to US$0.08 (e.g. a highly technical text where a lot of research is required) per word, depending on the complexity, the size of the project, the amount of research needed and my availability. Being a very fast typist, I normally output from 400 to 1000 words per hour, again depending on the complexity. I look forward to working with you!
Best regards,
José Guedes
