Machine-assisted Translation

So, we don’t quite trust “the machine” just yet, but we’ve realized the world’s needs are changing. We’ve implemented this service as a way to combine the best of both worlds: human and algorithm. Our machine translation service translates highly accurate English transcripts provided by our team of AV-TEXT transcribers into a few key languages, at a fraction of the cost.
