Translation agencies
Send us the files your team doesn't have time for. We lay out, transcribe and check them under your name, and your client never hears ours.
Translation, multilingual publishing and AI training data
Agencies, publishers and e-learning teams send us files to translate and typeset. AI companies send us data to label and test. Native speakers do the work, and a second person checks it before it goes back to you.

Who we work with
Most of our work comes from four kinds of teams. Each one needs something different from us.
Publishers
Translated titles, co-editions and backlist conversions. We typeset in the target language and hand back print-ready files and eBooks.
E-learning teams
Storyline courses translated, voiced or subtitled, then rebuilt and tested so every slide and quiz works in every language.
AI and ML teams
Labeled text, speech data and model evaluation from native speakers. We start with a pilot batch on your own data.
Language and publishing services
Five groups of services, all run by the same project team. Pick a group to see what's in it. AI training data has its own section.

AI training data from native speakers
Models trained mostly on English data often miss how people actually write and speak in other languages. We collect, label and evaluate data with people who use those languages every day, and every project starts with a pilot batch on your own data.
- Data annotation and labelingEntities, sentiment, intent and categories, labeled to your guidelines in your tool or ours.
- Speech and audio dataRecordings collected to your speaker mix, then transcribed with speaker turns and timestamps.
- Image and video annotationBoxes, polygons, segmentation and captions, including captions written in other languages.
- Training data collectionNew text, audio and images made to order, with a consent record for every contributor.
- RLHF and fine-tuning dataPrompts, model answers and preference rankings, written by native speakers.
- LLM evaluationModel answers scored against your rubric for accuracy, fluency and cultural fit.
- Red teaming and safety reviewAdversarial prompts in each language your model answers in, with a written report.
- Human review and moderationPeople checking model output and user content at the pace your product needs.
- Search relevance and product dataSearch results rated for each market, and product attributes written and translated.
How the quality stays measurable
- Pilot batch firstWe agree guidelines and gold examples with you, label a small batch and review it together before anything scales.
- Agreement checked on every batchAnnotators are compared against each other and against the gold set, and you get the scores with each delivery.
- Disagreements go to a senior reviewerUnclear items go to a senior reviewer for a decision, and the guidelines are updated so the same question doesn't come back.

Your data stays yours
- Every annotator works under a signed NDA.
- Access is limited to the people on your project.
- We work inside your platform or deliver files in your format.
- Your data is deleted when the project ends, unless you ask us to keep it.
How a project runs
The same four steps whether you send one brochure or a hundred hours of audio.
Send your files
Upload files or share access, and tell us the languages, format and date you need.
Get a quote and a date
We check the files and send a fixed quote and delivery date. AI projects start with a pilot batch.
We do the work and check it
A specialist does the work. A second person checks it against the source before it leaves us.
Second check QAYou get finished files
Delivered in the format you asked for, with notes on anything we'd like you to look at.
The word for language, in ten scripts
Right-to-left text, Asian scripts and Indic scripts each need their own fonts, line breaks and spacing. We set them by hand, and a native speaker checks the finished pages.
The same care goes into signs, packaging and screens, where a wrong line break is seen by everyone who walks past.
