Taia
Verdict: My experience with Taia was positive. I benefited from their services when I needed to translate docs and articles from a photography blog into Spanish.
The process was intuitive and I was impressed with its high customizability. I could select the delivery time, and translation quality, and provide special requirements with just several clicks. The ability to customize the workflow to my specific needs increased my productivity.
Taia is a modern translation service, translating with the help of AI and professional translators. Supporting 97 languages and 64 different file formats, the platform employs 600 specialized translators who have a minimum of 5 years of experience in their industry.
The range of services they provide is really impressive. Beyond legal and document translation, the agency’s team can also cope with such tasks as proofreading, website and software localization, translation for marketing, API integration, and audio media translation including voice-over, subtitle translation, dubbing, and interpretation.
Ordering translation services from Taia was incredibly intuitive. I needed only a little time to register on the platform, and the whole process was very straightforward, as the service’s UI guided me through each step.
The clear instructions were extremely helpful, whereas the ability to sign up using email was extremely convenient. All in all, I only spent one minute to authorize the website and start browsing the platform.
Besides, the process of order placement caused me any trouble at all. The order form has clear fields for providing the details and is not complicated. There I could indicate the type of the translation, as well as specify the source and target language (from English to Spanish). Then I added my file in docx format to the platform. This was a marketing text about my photography services for my social media network.
This artificial intelligence software quickly scans the uploaded doc, calculating the actual number of words and the actual payable words, accounting for any repetitions to decrease costs. The platform provided me with a precise price estimate and a detailed quotation in only 30 seconds.
As I had complete control over the process, I could select from various service levels and delivery dates. The Essential package seemed to be the most appropriate for me. It offers basic professional translation, which provides highly accurate human translation. In addition, I asked to deliver the order within one day, and my request was satisfied promptly and professionally.
When the translation was ready, I got the result and its quality was fantastic. The text was accurate, clear, and perfectly matched the tone and conveyed the message of the original document.
All industry-specific terminology was properly used. The text was written smoothly and incredibly readable, and no one could even think that the article had been translated.
Delivery within a one-day timeframe was another great plus for me. Moreover, the translation was ready before the deadline, so I could proceed to work on my project without any delays. The resulting doc was perfect, so I did not even need to request any corrections or revisions.
Besides, the platform guarantees the security of the downloaded files, so the translation document did not cause any harm to my computer.
The platform can also work as project management software that can be really helpful for assigning tasks, managing teams, and monitoring every project from a single, user-friendly working space. This option is especially useful when collaborating with many team members on different aspects of a project.
Besides, I could seamlessly designate responsibilities and allocate tasks to each participant of the team. No matter whether I needed someone to review the translation or make the final edits, I could assign those roles quickly and easily. This optimized my workflow and made it more organized.
Taia platform offers a cutting-edge online AI translation tool to make my self-translations more accurate and qualitative. Thanks to advanced AI, machine translation, and translation memory, the quality of my translations became much better.
Another advantage of the platform is that it supports over 70 file types like DOCX, XLSX, PDF, PPTX, HTML, etc., as well as 97 languages, which makes it a versatile solution for virtually all projects. This was my go-to option for translating my portfolio from English to Spanish, and the result exceeded my expectations. The style and accuracy were just perfect.
Another highlight that I would like to mention in Taia review is the flexible pricing policy. The cost of standard machine translation starts at just $0.0022 per word, which is ideal for fast, budget-friendly projects. The rate for translations that require detailed proofreading is $0.14 per word.
I took advantage of both options: when I needed to translate quite a long document in the shortest possible time, I spent $30 on AI-powered translation. For a more detailed project, like legal documents, I purchased an Essential package and paid 70 bucks.
For the self-translation service Catapult, I benefited from a free trial for 2,000 words. After that, I acquired the Starter plan at $25 per month, which offered 10,000 words/mo.
