Tagline: Translation as a service at 1/5 the cost of traditional translators
Description: What we do: Unbabel eliminates language barriers by combining machine and human translation for the best of both worlds —speed and accuracy at a fifth of the price of traditional translators. Unbabel's use of artificial intelligence and crowd-sourced translation help businesses expand globally.Why it's a big deal: 75% of the world does not speak English. Translation services are essential for companies that want to build a global brand, but it's difficult to find a viable solution for online content. Machines are too rigid to detect the nuances of human speech, and humans are just too slow.Unbabel solves this problem by marrying human skill with machine-efficiency. Customers send in content which is first auto-translated by Unbabel's software, then refined by two human translators before it's sent back to the customer in as little as 10 minutes. This leads to the speed of a computer translation refined by a human touch, offering customers a reliable and quick solution to building their global brand. No wonder Unbabel raised $1.5M in their seed round; they're offering a translation service unlike any other.
