Well, only a fraction of editors remain from the last batch of editors I recruited (which was a while ago).

QC: Your job is to check the script for spelling, grammar, punctuation and syntax. Your attention to detail should be second to none. I don’t expect perfection, but I do expect near perfection.

Edit: Your job is to take a translated script and change the awkward/literal English into smooth, natural English. The level of your English should be akin to that of a native speaker, preferably better than my English. (English is my second language.)
Your attention to detail should also be very good.

After sending me an email (holo@doki.co), join #doki-recruits@irc.rizon.net. You will be given a QC test, and if you pass, an edit test.

In your email, state your timezone and any info you feel supports your application. Previous experience in fansubbing is not a requirement, but willingness to learn and a level of dedication is.

Edit: Recruitment closed, no more emails please!

Update: Thanks to those who have applied. No more applications, thanks!

It’s been 2 years since I last did a recruitment/training campaign of new timers, and now the number of active timers have fallen.

So if you are thinking of getting into fansubbing, but have no real experience, here is a good opportunity.

If you would like to learn how to time, you should satisfy the following conditions.

• A lot of patience. Timing can be very monotonous and tedious.
• Speak coherent English. If we can’t communicate with you properly, we can’t teach you.
• Ability to take initiative. If you have nothing to do, ask me for something to work on. Don’t just sit there waiting.
• Have a lot of free time. If you are only available for two days a week, this gig is not suitable for you. While I don’t expect you to be online 24/7, I would expect you to be around for a couple of hours at least 4 or 5 days a week.
• Able to idle on IRC when you are online. If you can idle 24/7, then all the better.
• Be talkative on IRC! Don’t just idle there and not say anything. We’re all friendly and love to chat.

No experience required. You will be taught everything. I am looking for people all over the world.

Please email me with a little info about yourself, (including your timezone and motivation for joining), then join #doki-recruits if you are interested. If you don’t know how to use IRC, use this, and someone will teach you to get a proper IRC client like chatzilla or mirc later.

Edit: Thanks to everyone who expressed interest. We are good for now.

Doki are in need of one more typesetter. If you would like to learn to typeset, please get in touch.

Please drop by #doki-recruits and email holo@doki.co.

Some notes:

• You don’t need to know japanese (all translation will be supplied).
• Patience and dedication is required.

For those that don’t know what typesetting is, it’s basically adding subs for signs inside shows (basically this only not as nearly as bad). Most shows only have like 1 – 2 signs, either containing the episode title or some in-house sign that says “Class 3-A” or something.

Edit: If you typeset like this, your application will probably be misplaced.
