Do you claim that Converser™ is better than human translators? Wouldn an interpreter or a bilingual staff member translate better than Converser?
Converser™ is not intended to replace human translators, with human hearts and minds. However, it will reduce translating costs, and will be invaluable when access to qualified interpreters is limited. By providing reliable translation instantly and 24/7, it fills a vital niche in the range of translation options.We do not claim that Converser™ is in any sense superior to human translators. All the same, the system does offer some benefits – beyond affordability and 24/7 availability – which human interpreters do not offer. These include verifiability (with a human translator, how can you judge the translation accuracy, and what could you do if you found an error?); privacy (no third party need be present); consistency (the same translation can be produced for a given expression each time); and ease of record-keeping (since a transcript can be kept for each conversation).
