A Translation Scramble

Omelets anyone?

When you’re a chef for a robust Olympic team, you have to pack the protein in each meal, whatever way you can. When you’re a chef for the Norwegian Olympians, you have to make an egg-xample of your talents by packing in the protein (see what I did there?) any way you can.

While everything worked out for the Norwegians and their cuisine, not everything is as cut and dry for people that depend on translation for their regular business or personal needs. Sure, if you’re in a bind when speaking with someone of a different nationality and need to translate something on the spot, you opt for a tech based auto translate service, like Google Translate. But when you have a need to translate official documents, conference calls, novels, and so on, you’ll want to rely on professionals.

Some of the greatest beauty you can find in a novel comes from what’s written between the lines, that which is not outrightly said. When feeding your content through a simple online translator, there is just no way to convey that. Sure, artificial intelligence is booming and everyday we get closer to the point of machines virtually taking over, but there is the simple subtlety of the human touch that can’t be found in an app or on a website.

Keeping business in mind, Speechpad, and it’s human team, have the ability to translate your business’s message accurately and appropriately. Imagine that you are trying to expand overseas and, in the interest of time or perhaps cost, you decide to quickly run your document through a simple computerized translation service.

Now, 90% of this translation is accurate. That’s pretty good, right? But when it’s your business, your livelihood and that of your employees hanging in the balance, 90% simply doesn’t cut it. A poor translation can give the impression that your business isn’t so solid and dependable. There goes that expansion. Why risk it?

Consistent with all of Speechpad’s practices, you will find a native speaker, that is also an experienced transcriber, will be working on your file. And as always, we back our team, and your content, with a 99% guarantee. We will work with you to ensure your needs are met and the credibility of your business isn’t lost.
