Services

Multilingual DTP

I use the latest desktop publishing software and possess a wealth of fonts for dozens of languages. A graphic designer by trade, I pay close attention to detail that many other typesetters overlook.

PDF Re-creation and Design

Do you have a PDF without a source file? I can help you re-create the PDF and make an exact copy with whatever source application you need, including InDesign, Illustrator, Word, etc.

Subtitling

Want to add subtitles to a video? I can help with that! I have plenty of experience creating SRT (SubRip) files from scratch, and I can also typeset them as well. This will allow your video to have subtitles displayed on any video you like. I can also embed subtitles into your video so that you won’t need a separate subtitle file along with you video.

Graphic Design

With over 20 years of experience as a graphic designer, I’ve worked with countless people and organizations to help establish brand names and identities. I work with various design software such as Adobe Illustrator to design logos, websites, stationery, advertisements, and much more.

Feel free to contact me to inquire about any graphic design needs.

Logo Transliteration and Design

If your logo comprises of any text, I am able to have the translation of that text formatted and implemented into your logo design. Given my background in graphic design, I can ensure the final product will be your logo translated into a foreign language that maintains the structure and design of your native logo.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Have something on paper that you need converted to type? I have the tools and experience to recognize any language handwritten or typed on paper and transcribe it into digital-typed text using the latest optical character recognition (OCR) software.

Pre-translation File Prep

Before translating a document, I ensure it is formatted properly throughout and free of any unnecessary line breaks, non-breaking spaces, or any other items that may slow down the post-DTP work.
