Korean Startups usually all have the same issue.  Their company does not have a global team.  Usually Koreans that only speak Korean dominate the company.  Therefore translation services are in high demand because the cost of acquiring foreign talent is in such high demand in Korea.  Korean startup CICERON an AI-based translation Korean Startup, which was founded in 2015, deals with professional translation services.

They were part of the 2016 KOCCA (Korea Creative Content Agency) Incubator program.  By 2017 they were able to complete the development of AI translator “MARO” and late 2017 joined the KODIT NEST’s 2nd batch program.  Some of their customers include KT, Trinamic, and Seoul National University just to name a few.  In 2015 they were working with only 3 companies but by 2017 they had 27.  The same goes for their language services.  Early in 2015 they only offered 4 languages services, but now they are offering 11.

Introducing “MARO”

What makes CICERON attractive is their incorporation of AI technology into their translation service.  In addition, they also have over 100 specialized translators that give data to their AI learning translator “MARO”.  MARO got an incredibly high score of 25 on the BLEU Score, which is a numerical index that indicated the performance of a translator.  Furthermore, it shows the degree of similarity between a human translation and a machine translation.  The score of 25 beats Google Translate by 3.

Their strongest translation service works for the Chinese market.  Baogao which translates Chinese into Korea is great for overseas students.  It was built by analyzing the revisions of over 1,000+ Chinese students for 3 months to get the most accurate translation possible.  Therefore, those Chinese students looking to get into Korean schools will benefit the most.  Baogao also offers one to one admission essay services for Chinese students wanting to get into Korean Universities.

CICERON aims to become the top translation platform not only in Korea but in Asia.  Their AI-learning platform will be the key to their success as well as their Chinese platform Baogao.  The deep-learning sector grows 100% annually which means the market for language translation is a 13 billion won market already.

Flitto a Korean startup is looking to become the best translation platform in the world.  Furthermore, they are looking to take down the difficulties people face when learning a new language.  While Flitto is a Korean startup, it was founded in London by Korean founders in 2012.  5 years later Flitto has more than 6 million users.  They offer translation for 18 different languages through their website and mobile app.

There are two key issues in the translation market.  The first has to do with finding the right kind of translator.  The second has to do with the problems with machine based translators that can’t provide accurate translations compared to a local.

Matching People with the Right Translator

Flitto is all about matching people or companies with the RIGHT translator.  All they have to do is simply post their request on Flitto via a text message or even a voice message and it will be seen by the millions of translators on their platform.  Getting a human translator is far better than an AI translator because AI technology has not advanced far enough to reflect the culture and the right context of the material.

Until machine learning in regards to translations advances greatly over the next few years, Flitto’s human-powered translation service is the best form of translation out there.

How do you use Flitto?  

Customers can buy translation points and then use those points to do translations.  As for professional translations, users can find translators on the platform and Flitto will take a small percentage as commission.  Flitto also works with companies like Naver, Systran, and Airbnb in providing translation services.

Many would be amazed that most companies in Korea do not have English/foreign speakers and is dominated by Koreans.   However, only 13% of the users actually come from Korea.  Most are from outside of Korea since Flitto is in over 170 countries.

The Translation Market

As globalization is becoming common all around the world the need to network and connect is growing faster than ever.  In order to truly connect in this digital world, people must be able to communicate with each other.  This is why the translation market is growing 5% every year and the total market size is expected to hit $47 billion by 2018.

Flitto has their competitors but what they are able to do compared to its competitors is offer their service for both the web and mobile.  They cover all content from texts to business documents.  Their prices can’t be beaten at .001 cent per character and their selection is vast with over 1 million translators to choose from.

The best feature about their service is their function of translating any text automatically using OCR and GPS technology.  So a user just has to take a picture of a text they want to be translated.  Then will get an instant translation.  This will make having Flitto crucial when traveling aboard.  The same thing can be done for voice translations.  Just upload the record and you will get an instant translation.

Flitto established their China branch in 2015 is looking aggressively to expand into China.  They are working with Trip Advisor and MOOC (Massive Online Open Course).  They hope to provide translation services in China and grow their brand.
