  U.S.?
  
  
• Are they able to realtime technical matter with 99.5% accuracy or better, including Japanese proper names and geographical terms?

  not British spellings (criticise, analogue, recognise, defence) which can
  complicate spell check and word index and word search capability?
  
  
• Is the agency sending a reporter that actually works in their office as opposed to subcontracting it to an outside reporter they hardly know?

• Can they produce printed, certified transcripts in Japan if requested?
