The problem to solve
Maithili has limited digital resources and a limited trained transcription pool.
The buyer needed speech represented faithfully enough for ASR training, not cleaned into unnatural written language.

Tooling fit
The workflow supported playback, segmentation, timestamps, and structured export.
Continuous QA
Review cycles improved consistency as recurring transcription patterns appeared.

Problem. A luxury automotive manufacturer needed German-to-Kazakh manuals and marketing where no established automotive terminology existed.
Action. MoniSa built the domain glossary first, then translated and reviewed manuals and marketing against it.
Result. 500,000 words delivered across a rare pair with terminology held consistent for safety-critical content.
Game localization at title scale
Problem. A games program needed 100+ titles in 7 languages without translated text breaking fixed UI layouts.
