IMC's Automatic Foreign Language Translation
Law enforcement and intelligence agencies are continually tasked with semantically analyzing documents in foreign languages — particularly Arabic and Spanish because terrorist activity and communication occurs in regions that speak those languages. The increased military pressure on terrorists in the Middle East has forced many to migrate to South America, Indonesia and other regions that predominantly speak Spanish.
Our Foreign Language Translation capabilities leverage Natural Language Processing (NLP) and pattern recognition technologies to translate documents in different languages as well as on different media because they can perform machine text-to-machine-text as well as text-to-speech translation.
Text-to-speech translation converts computer-readable text into synthetic audio that sounds like the human voice as well as voice-to-text translation that can "learn" to recognize different speakers and accents. We also offer speech recognition that quickly captures audio data and converts it to an approximate version of machine-readable text so you can then translate it using machine text-to-machine text translation. An editing package accompanies our translation offerings so you can edit translated text for clarity and accuracy and define glossaries so others can better understand the terms used. We also offer ready-made glossaries for different subject areas like Engineering and Finance. Automatic Translation also recognizes ancient versions of languages and current slang, so it interprets entire documents into lay English terminology and slang phrases into equivalent English ones and vice versa.
We even feature a website monitoring and translation service that can monitor and translate changing content on hundreds of websites of news organizations like Al Jazira primarily in the Middle East to support antiterrorism. We call it our One-Stop Virtual Newsstand for intelligence analysts. If required, it can also preserve page formatting and graphics.
