When you ask Siri to text your niece or Google Docs to dictate a memo, you’re using speech-to-text technology.
These technologies take spoken words and convert them into text. Often, they link your commands to other actions, automating small tasks.
Hospital systems, businesses, and governments often need to balance the efficiencies of using speech-to-text with the potential risks of error. If you’re not familiar with speech-to-text in the context of professional translation and transcription, here’s what you should know.
When it comes to reaching clients and customers, communication is vital, especially if you plan to move into a new market or operate on a global scale.

Learning about a culture unlike where you personally grew up is an engaging experience, giving opportunity to broaden a person’s understanding of the world. Through my personal experience of living in Japan and studying the Japanese language I have come to have a deep appreciation and am continuously gaining a deeper understanding for how culture is shaped by language within different societies. The work of translators and interpreters is to not only exchange words from one language to the other, but to translate cultural background and ideas. From the little things in everyday life in Japan to how individuals make important life decisions, I found that the foundations for choosing what to do come from an alternative origin than my own Canadian and Australian background.
