An amanuensis is a person you dictate to and he/she writes down what you
dictate. An amanuensis might also copy manuscripts.

What's the Japanese word for amanuensis?

Some translation tools are giving me "アマヌンシス" as a translation. Isn't there
some better word?

I think that the following might be appropriate.

  1. 「筆生{ひっせい}」
  2. 「筆記者{ひっきしゃ}」
  3. 「右筆」 or 「祐筆」(ゆうひつ)
  4. 「写字生{しゃじせい}」
  5. 「代筆者{だいひつしゃ}」
  6. 「書記{しょき}」
