Our mission
Global Riss exists to make communication effortless across languages, formats, and audiences. Our name reflects what we do: we help people communicate, we transcribe what's said into what's written, and we connect organizations with audiences they couldn't otherwise reach — accurately, and on time.
We work across transcription, translation, captioning, subtitling, meeting minutes, and localization — but the thread connecting all of it is the same: content that's correct, clearly presented, and ready to use the moment it lands in your inbox.
That means treating every project — whether it's a five-minute clip or a recurring volume of work — with the same standard, rather than reserving careful review for whichever jobs happen to feel important at the time.
What we value
Accuracy over speed
Speed matters, but never at the cost of getting it right — every project is checked before it ships, not after something goes wrong.
Clarity over jargon
Whether it's a transcript, a translation, or a set of minutes, the result should be immediately usable, not something that needs decoding.
People behind the process
AI-assisted tools do the heavy lifting on speed; the judgment calls that actually matter are made by a person.
Straightforward communication
If something about your project needs clarifying, we ask — rather than guessing and hoping it works out.
A note on AI-assisted work
AI-assisted tools are genuinely useful for the first pass of a project — they're fast and consistent at the mechanical part of transcription, translation, and captioning. What they're not good at is judgment: knowing when a name is misheard, when a phrase reads awkwardly in translation, or when timing needs a human eye rather than an algorithm's best guess.
That's the part a person does on every project, every time — not as an optional upgrade, but as the standard step between the first pass and delivery.
How we work with new clients
Trust is built one project at a time — here's what that usually looks like.
- 1
A first project, on its own terms
No long-term commitment required to start — most relationships begin with a single project so you can judge the work directly.
- 2
Direct feedback, quickly folded in
If something about formatting, tone, or terminology needs adjusting, that feedback carries into every project after it.
- 3
An ongoing point of contact
For clients with recurring needs, the same team stays familiar with your preferences, so each new project starts ahead of where the last one did.
Quality, Security & Confidentiality
The details that matter most when you're trusting someone with your content.
Human-reviewed accuracy
AI-assisted tools handle the first pass of every project. A human reviewer then checks accuracy, context, and formatting before anything is delivered.
Confidential handling
Client files and content are treated as confidential by default. Non-disclosure agreements are available on request for sensitive projects.
Consistent standards
The same review process applies to every project, regardless of size — so quality doesn't vary by job.
Transparent turnaround
You're told a realistic timeline upfront, and kept informed if anything about scope or timing changes along the way.
Frameworks we're informed by
We don't claim formal certification against these — but the principles behind them shape how review actually happens here.
Independent review, not self-checking
Recognized frameworks for translation quality — including ISO 17100 and ISO 18587, which covers human review of machine-translated content — are built around one core idea: a translation should be checked by someone other than whoever produced the first draft. Our process follows that same principle.
Accessibility guidance for captions
Our captioning work is written with WCAG guidance in mind, including the requirement that captions cover not just dialogue but speaker identification and meaningful sound effects — not just auto-generated text with the gaps left in.
Subtitle reading-speed conventions
Subtitles are timed against the reading-speed benchmarks most broadcasters and streaming platforms use as a comfortable pace — commonly around 17 characters per second, with a two-line limit — rather than however fast a machine happens to generate them.
Structured minutes for formal settings
For board and governance minutes, structure can follow conventions like those in Robert's Rules of Order — motions, seconds, and votes recorded distinctly from general discussion — rather than a flat chronological summary.
Locale conventions for localization
Localization work follows standard locale conventions — including ISO 639 language codes and ISO 3166 region codes — so date formats, currency, and units match what's expected in each target market, not just direct translations of the original.
How we hold that standard
- Reviewers work within a specific service — transcription, translation, captioning, and so on — rather than covering everything generically.
- Every file goes through review regardless of size; a five-minute recording gets the same scrutiny as a much longer one.
- Feedback from a client on tone, terminology, or formatting is documented and carried into that client's future projects.

Common questions about working with us
Can you handle recurring or ongoing work, not just one-off projects?
Yes — many clients send projects on an ongoing basis. The same team stays familiar with your preferences across each new project.
Is my content reviewed by a machine only, or by a person too?
Always by a person. AI-assisted tools speed up the first pass, but every project is checked by a human reviewer before delivery.
Will you sign an NDA before reviewing our content?
Yes — non-disclosure agreements are available on request, and we're happy to sign yours or provide our own before any sensitive material is shared.
