Did you know?
The Difference Between Editing and Proofreading
While often used interchangeably, editing and proofreading are actually different tasks!
​
Editing involves comparing the translation to the source text and fixing any errors made be the original translator.
It may also include fact-checking and rearranging paragraphs to improve readability.
Proofreading is a final check to fix minor errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting.
It can be done without the source text, which is why it is usually charged per English word rather than per Japanese source character.

Choose if you'd like the transcription to be word-for-word, or if you'd like things like filler words, stutters, and self corrections omitted for readability.
