ABOUT US

I have been working with Anna Jacobs for most of this past year in an attempt to bridge our two programs and communities. She has been the perfect liaison and support. She’s incredibly intuitive, sharing information before I can even ask the questions. I have also had the pleasure of having her interpret for me during a recent school visit and Anna was top notch. She was able to navigate a Japanese/English/ASL interaction smoothly. I’ve never seen anyone with that unique skill set. I thought her work extraordinary. I strongly recommend her services.

We needed an interpreter for the judo seminar and for communicating with local US residents. Anna's simultaneous interpretation style ensured that our conversations flowed smoothly, ultimately saving us time. Furthermore, she conveyed information using clear expressions rather than literal translations, making the content easy to understand and ensuring that our intentions were clearly communicated.

Her Japanese was so fluent that she could easily be mistaken for a native speaker. As a Japanese American with native English proficiency, I would entrust Anna with interpreting business, legal and medical matters without hesitation.

Anna Jacobs has been working with O.C. Interpreting for 25 + years. Anna is an exemplary professional and her partnership with O.C. Interpreting has been ideal. Anna is dependable, consistent and always carries herself with a positive demeanor. O.C. Interpreting has worked with Anna on a variety of jobs, including legal, medical, statements and IEP’s for school.

During my conference attendance in the United States, Anna from ANCS served as both interpreter and tour guide. She was well-versed not only in the conference venue and surrounding areas but also in local education and culture, consistently making optimal suggestions based on our interests and objectives.

What particularly stands out was her arranging for me to experience the “DHH Program (Learning Program for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing)” during my free time. I hadn't known about its existence, but she had interviewed relevant staff beforehand and carefully summarized the program's background and content to share with me. Thanks to this, I could experience not just theoretical learning, but also feel the classroom atmosphere and observe student interactions—it was like a short homestay experience.

Her unique perspective, gained from understanding sign language in addition to English and Japanese, combined with her thorough preparation, made this valuable experience possible. She is someone I trust wholeheartedly, both as an interpreter and as a person.

Whenever I travel to the United States, I always ask ANCS to interpret for me. Thanks to her, conversations go very smoothly, which is a huge help! I'm always a bit anxious about interacting with people overseas, but having Anna there puts my mind at ease. She helps me with more than just language; she also helps me navigate cultural differences and other aspects, which I truly appreciate.

We requested ANCS's interpretation services for the judo seminar and our interactions with local participants. Anna's simultaneous interpretation style made conversations flow smoothly and ultimately saved us time. She conveyed information using clear expressions rather than literal translations, which made the content easy to understand and ensured that our intentions were clearly communicated to the local participants. Her Japanese is exceptionally fluent—so much so that she sounded just like a native speaker. As a Japanese American with native English proficiency, I would confidently entrust Anna with interpreting for business, legal, and medical matters.
