Machine Translation The next artificial intelligence
technology to go mainstream?
Artificial Intelligence (AI): The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence
Artificial Intelligence techniques, particularly machine learning, are used in solutions all around us
Here are a few examples…
Voice recognition

From your smart
phone to your
navigation system
and voice prompts on
support lines, voice
recognition has
rapidly improved and
is breaking into new
areas
Virtual assistants

Virtual assistants
now pre-empt live
support and help
deliver timely, live
support
Search
Search is at the core
of how we interact
with information
ensures the best
information is
delivered for an
infinite number of
inquiries.
OCR

Bringing hard
copies of
information into
the digital world
requires technology
rooted in AI – look
to your printer for
an example
And increasing in popularity….machine translation
Machine translation leverages AI techniques to deliver
simplified, real-time translation
But, machine translation doesn’t just translate content
It powers a lot of really interesting solutions!
