  • Demonstrated experience in transcription, translation, localization, or related language services.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in both Japanese and English.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to transcription accuracy.

  • Prior experience with Japanese-English bilingual transcription projects.
  • Familiarity with technical, business, or industry-specific terminology.
  • Academic or professional background in linguistics, Japanese studies, translation, language studies, or a related field.
  • Experience reviewing or quality-checking language data.
  • Familiarity with AI, language technology, or data annotation projects is a plus.
