If you’re an independent translator or work with a team, and if you work post-edit machine translations in a CAT tool, you probably found this website while looking for better machine translation.
That’s not a surprise given today’s best practices in post-editing machine translations (PEMT). Here at Slate Rocks, “better machine translation” means keeping more of what you earn, and…
Better machine translation starts with the engine.
The Engine
The road to better machine translation
An engine generates the machine translation you post-edit.
Service providers like Google & DeepL have an engine for each language pair. They configure each engine’s artificial intelligence as a jack of all trades that generates MT for every possible subject and serves millions of people.
Better machine translation uses artificial intelligence to mimic your mastery of the languages and specialty. The artificial intelligence learns your specialty, terminology, and writing style to generate better machine translation focused on your post-editing experience.
That’s what Slate™ is all about.
Slate™ is an intuitive and user-friendly machine translation engine that runs on your PC. It’s artificial intelligence generates MT that mimics your knowledge, terminology and style.
Engine Strategies
Different engine strategies balance convenience, cost and quality to meet your machine translation goals.
Online Engines
One size fits all
An online engine generates one-size-fits-all machine translation. The engine’s one-size-fits-all MT fits your work like a thrift store’s one-size-fits-all clothes fit your body.
An online engine is convenient. After all, the service provider did all the work to make the engine. But the online engine doesn’t optimize your income. The subscription fees eat into your profit or an agency pays you lower rates.
An online engine strategy favors convenience over better machine translation.
Personalized Engines
Bespoke tailored
A personalized engine generates bespoke tailored machine translation. The engine’s tailored MT fits your work like a tailor’s bespoke clothes fit your body.
