Professional Voice-Over (VO)

We have voice actors and announcers for narration, elearning, video voice over, radio commercials, internet videos, phone system IVR & phone hold, training videos and audiobooks.

All our foreign talents are native to their country providing the right accent you are looking for.

Machine Translation & Post Edit (MTPE)

With PEMT, your content is translated first by machine, and then reviewed and edited by a professional human linguist. Our clients save up to 30% by utilizing MTPE over standard human translation services.

Content that can be suitable for MTPE includes technical manuals, instructions, FAQs, and other product material. Some content is better suited for professional human translation like marketing and sales materials, advertising, and any material where idioms or nuances are important.

Machine Translation

U.S. Translation Company clients typically use raw, unedited machine output for internal use only. From gisting, they can get well, the gist of a text. While gisting does not produce a document of publishable quality, it does communicate the primary message. This works well for some internal communications, databases, and the like.

Gisting can also allow a U.S. Translation Company client to assess whether they want to have the document fully professionally translated. Clients typically do this with requests for proposals (RFPs), tender requests, and similar content. By using raw machine translation services in such cases, clients can save up to 90% of what full human translation and desktop publishing would have cost them. In addition, raw machine translation is fast—so fast that clients often experience a same-day turnaround.

Translation Editing & Proofreading

If your organization has someone that speaks the language and feels capable of translating that is great news! But most professionals know the importance of someone else reviewing their work. This is how mistakes are avoided and saves massive headaches.

U.S. Translation Company provides human translation editing and proofreading services. Whether you’d like to review an internal translation of a co-worker or even review translations from another vendor, U.S. Translation can help. Our professional reviewers have years of experience in your industry and can ensure you get the results you are looking for.

Professional Human Translation

Language translation technologies are improving, yet professional human translation still provides the best quality. Human translation includes the ability to translate the meaning of a sentence, rather than just the words. And more importantly, it allows for the comprehension of idioms and other nuances that cannot be detected.

U.S. Translation Company has 2000+ professional translators who have been tested and certified to produce the best translation quality possible. Typically when people think of translation this is the quality level they expect so their message can resound with their target audience.

Quality Assurance (QA)

After your content have been translated and desktop publishing we finalize the translation and conduct our quality assurance. This is a detailed checklist and review done on all translations to ensure it meets the highest level of quality. This checklist can be reviewed and adjusted by our clients so it meets their desired specifications. Being a professional translation agency, there is no room for errors or mistakes and this step ensures that.

Desktop Publishing

After your materials have been translated, we unleash our desktop publishing team on them. This small but dedicated cadre of semiotic wizards will pore over every jot and tittle. This goes way, way beyond translation. After all, it’s not enough for your document to read correctly if the layout is bungled. That’s why U.S. Translation Company invests so heavily in the post-translation process.

Everything must be translated with precision and look as good as your original because your message goes beyond words. It includes proportionality, color, imagery and white space.
