Translating Japanese to English
Japanese-to-English translation is in demand among anime fans, business professionals, and anyone consuming Japanese media. Japan produces enormous amounts of content, from tech documentation to manga commentary and podcasts, and much of it never gets officially translated.
Japanese speech recognition is trickier than many languages because of homophones, politeness levels (keigo), and borrowed English words (katakana English). The translator handles standard Japanese (標準語) well. Kansai dialect and heavy slang may reduce accuracy.
