At Happy Scribe, we support glossaries in a single language but also translation glossaries with a source language paired with one or multiple target languages.
Why should I use a glossary?
Glossaries are a great way to boost the quality of your files for both our automatic and human-reviewed services. Use glossaries to ensure words not found in the dictionary are transcribed accurately (e.g. proper nouns, acronyms or industry/company-specific terminology), saving you valuable review time.
Additionally, you can add glossary terms to clarify words that are difficult to translate or can have multiple correct translations. It will ensure consistency, and quality, and optimise linguists’ research time in the case of human-made services.
Where can I find my glossaries?
You can find them by clicking on "Glossaries" at the bottom left of your Dashboard:
