Slate Desktop Launched - Personalized Translation Engine™ Fulfills Successful Indiegogo Campaign
Fifty translation professionals across four continents backed the Slate Desktop crowdfunding campaign on the promise of the world's first Windows translation engine that learns the user's style and protects client confidentiality.
Singapore, Singapore, February 18, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Precision Translation Tools Pte Ltd (PTTools), Singapore, announces the launch its new flagship product Slate Desktop for Windows, heir to its Linux-based cousin first launched in 2010 and used by technically advanced translators and agencies.
In recent years, new translation automation offerings have relied on Linux-based technologies that restrict applications to cloud-based services. This has left large groups of translators and agencies under-served because they must abide by confidentiality agreements that prohibit entrusting works to the cloud.
We've seen steady growth of trust among translation professionals in automatic translation. We're clear the time is right for a native Windows productivity solution. We're delighted with the support from our expanding community over the last few months and look forward to serving them in the months and years to come.
