Feeling LOC’d out? ATA TEKTalks is here to help!

Wordscope is a web-based CAT tool that was one of the first to incorporate AI-powered features while focusing on confidentiality.

Attend the last installment of 2024 ATA TEKTalks for an interview with Philippe Mercier, a Belgian software engineer and the creator of Wordscope. This introduction to the tool will offer freelance translators, in-house linguists, company owners, and students an overview of how it can help increase productivity and bring in new business.

What is ATA TEKTalks?

Language technology, or lang tech for short, can feel like a confusing maze, evolving daily. If you’ve ever felt “LOC’d out” of all the excitement—or just overwhelmed—it’s time to grab your compass and assume your place as a tech-savvy linguist!

ATA’s Language Technology Division is pleased to present ATA TEKTalks, a quarterly series of webinars. ATA TEKTalks provides a platform for leading language technology companies to say hello, offer insights, and answer questions relevant to the work of freelancers, language services providers, and in-house translation departments.

Think of ATA TEKTalks as an open exchange of information where language technology companies and their representatives demonstrate how and why their services can improve your return on investment.

This webinar series is organized in collaboration with ATA’s Language Technology Division.

In this webinar, you will:

  1. Understand some of the ways to safeguard confidentiality while using AI.
  2. Explore how to utilize AI-powered features for terminology and translation accuracy.
  3. Be able to use rephrasing, synonyms, and alternative suggestions to improve your translations.
  4. Learn how to streamline your workflows with AI-powered quality assurance.
