A browser version of Stepes launched worldwide last month.<\/p>\n<p>The mobile app is geared towards enabling anyone in the world with bilingual language ability to become a translator and earn money translating for businesses in their free time. Approximately 3.65 billion people \u2013 about half of the world\u2019s population \u2013 speak more than one language.<\/p>\n<p>With Stepes now available on both the world\u2019s largest mobile software platforms, any multilingual person can access free and intuitive translation software and become a translator \u2013 all from their smartphone. By expanding the scope of who can be a translator, Stepes aims to provide a seamless and affordable solution to overcoming the communication barriers that globalizers face today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo many people could be translators but don\u2019t have access to expensive translation software. That has driven up the cost and complexity of translation,\u201d explained Carl Yao, the app\u2019s founder. \u201cIt\u2019s why Stepes is a game changer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The app features several patent-pending technologies to simplify translation on mobile and accelerate translation speed. Long texts are broken down into smaller segments and given to translators line-by-line in a chat-based interface, enabling translators to work from their mobile anywhere, anytime. Swiping left and right allows translators to see the entire original text or the compiled translated text thus far. Human translators can use Stepes\u2019 built-in machine translation function to instantly translate terms and basic phrases and then edit the results to ensure grammar and accuracy. Uniquely, Stepes users can also \u201ctranslate by speaking;\u201d the app leverages speech recognition technology so that users no longer have to key in translations, increasing text input speeds by at least 30%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStepes is ideal for business applications that require large amounts of content translated in real time and with good quality, such as large ecommerce sites where user added information must be translated on-demand or international call centers providing customer support across borders, to name just two examples,\u201d added Yao.<\/p>\n<p>Stepes plans to release a client module of its mobile translation software geared towards globalizers that would make uploading and monitoring translation projects \u2013 including web-based content \u2013 much easier. The client module would also give businesses a way to make online payments to translators and rate or browse translator profiles.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Stepes, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stepes.com\/mobile-translation\/\">www.stepes.com\/mobile-translation\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[aboutstepes_en]<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"about_div\">\n        <h3>About CSOFT Health Sciences<\/h3>\n        <p>CSOFT Health Sciences, leaders in clinical trial localization, provides AI\/ML-enabled medical translation services for all phases of the drug and medical device product lifecycle, from development to post-launch.
