Edisense Review – Freelance Translator Opportunities

Edisense: A Great Translation Company

Edisense is part of a larger company called Crimson Interactive. The company’s goal is to provide clients with translation services, making communication between two parties, usually two businesses, possible. Edisense works with clients all over the globe. The company relies heavily on independent contractors to help them keep their costs minimal. They pass the savings on to their clients. Freelance contractors who work with Edisense always have plenty of work available and find the translations challenging. So if working at home as a translator appeals to you – this would be a great chance to do so.

The company does an excellent job of taking recently developed forms of technology and figuring out how the changes can be used to improve their business model. Edisense takes a great deal of pride in their ability to produce high-quality translation in a minimal amount of time and economical fashion.

Edisense’s client list includes:

• Researchers
• Individuals who specialize in information
• Business professionals

Before you dash over to the Edisense website and start filling out the application, you need to understand that they’re currently looking for a very specific kind of independent contractor. In addition to the standard ability to consistently meet deadlines and turn in top quality work, you also have to excel at translating Japanese to English.

What You’ll Need to Get the Job

I appreciate the fact that Edisense isn’t shy about being upfront about the high expectations they have of the freelancers they’re willing to work with. In addition to having excellent translation skills, you must have a Bachelor’s degree. Your area of study isn’t nearly as important to the company as the fact that you put in the time and completed the degree program. Rudimentary translation skills won’t cut it with Edisense, before starting to work for them, you need to have a minimum of one year’s worth of academic translation under your belt. Having a strong background in the subject matters that Edisense works with increases the odds of you working for this particular company.

The subject matters that Edisense needs translated includes:
• Legal Contracts
• General Medicine
• Nursing
• Agriculture
• Pharmaceutical Sciences
• Physiology
• Dentistry

Edisense provides both copyediting and substantive editing services. The type of work the company provides includes reviews of:

• Structure
• Language
• Content
• Peripheral Text
• Style and Format

Why I like Edisense

I like the fact that the company has high expectations for their contractors. If they hold their clients to the same high code of standards, the work experience should be rewarding.

The fact that the company has been around for several years, since 2005, indicates that they treat both clients and contractors fairly and have created a solid and successful business model. The odds are pretty good that they’ll be around for several more years.

If you’re a freelance contractor who meets Edisense’s criteria, I strongly urge you to turn in your application.
