Welcome!
SAPientia Serviços de Texto offers services from your post to your book so that your text looks flawless whether it be personal, commercial, academic or literary.
Services
Audio transcription and subtitling (Portuguese and English)
Transcription is much requested in academic production, legal actions, lectures and classes (specially to make them accessible). Transforming oral into written text requires precious time. A minute job, it requires communicative expertise and a good enough ear so as to allow the identification of each person's discourse nuances, bringing richness and human content (for that, a linguist is a must) to the text.
Format options (please send me the institution’s norms, if applicable):
1) Ipsis verbis text, informing hesitations, pauses, marks of judgement and the exact interviewee pronunciation
2) Text adapted to common language, whether formal or informal
Editing and proofreading
The pleasure of reading is intrinsically connected to a well-written text. Thorough, careful text editing is always necessary whether it is for texts that do not require much work, being orthographic and grammatical review enough to polish them (proofreading), or for those complex productions, which entail process-directed analysis (preparation).
Formatting
ISO (represented by ABNT in Brazil), the Vancouver system and APA are references frequently linked to quality in academic text formatting. I chose to only use these respected and widely accepted norms, in their current version, (even though there are others), and not to follow third-party guides because 1) I do not need them since I use the norms themselves, 2) these guides were built upon the cited norms, are frequently outdated in at least one norm and are misformatted, which brings headaches, be it for students, be it for professionals due to the contradictions they present.
I include the norms, their version and what I published here concerning formatting guides in a certificate.
I keep other text formats uniform, elegant and legible.
Examples of texts I can format (I do not finish layouts - for guides, informs, books, newspapers or magazines -, but send me a message by the "Dani, help me!" button on the site footer because I can recommend specialized professionals)
-
Academic production (monographies, papers, presentations, dissertations and theses)
-
Business and personal documents
-
CVs/resumés and cover letters
Translation (English)
Some years of language study are enough for basic communication. However, technical language, as well as informal language, is only mastered through much practice. Besides these, most people do not have time to translate, whether it be a paper or a contract, for example.
Typing
Professional typing allows for great time save. Whether it is an email, a letter, a contract, an assignment or the book you promised yourself to write, don't hesitate in asking how much life time you can save and invest in what's most important to you.
How I work
Payment
Before I start working on your text, I will either send you a payment link (if you are interested in signing in to PayPal or PagSeguro at this moment, click on the corresponding link below) or my bank account numbers for you to deposit, at least, 50% of the full amount. The complete text will be sent after I confirm balance deposit.
Quotations
I make quotations based on the file(s) or manuscript(s) sent, more specifically with the aid of Microsoft Word's or LibreOffice's Word Count to obtain the number of words or characters with spacing, and counting references, quotations, images or considering lenght (in minutes) and quality of the audio file(s). For manuscripts, I inform a minimum and maximum price since I only know the exact amount of text after I type it or know the amount of hours I spent editing it.
