• Work with a wide variety of formats (typed notes, tables, bilingual sections, complex layouts, occasional handwriting).
• Use OCR outputs when available, and/or request OCR support when needed; then clean, format, and verify the document in Word.
• Follow written style and formatting guidelines to ensure consistency across files.
• Handle medical documents confidentially and responsibly at all times.
• Flag unclear or illegible content for further review and document any uncertainties.
• Perform a line-by-line quality check before submitting work to reduce errors and omissions.

Experience & Skills Required
• Advanced Microsoft Word skills, especially formatting (tables, tabs, spacing, page layout, headers/footers, styles).
• Excellent attention to detail and comfort with doing meticulous, repetitive work.

Language Requirements:
• Japanese: JLPT N4 or equivalent proficiency required (ability to read hiragana, kata
