Instant Human Translation
An overwhelming majority of today’s translation apps use machine translation or automatic language conversion using computer algorithms. As many people have learned (the hard way), using Google Translate or iTranslate can often lead to embarrassment, or worse, confusion – just when you need language help the most. This is why the Stepes app is a game changer. Stepes is the first app to use human translators in major cities around the world to serve all of your on-the-go translation needs in real-time 24/7/365.
Your Personal Language Assistant
Have you ever dreamed of having your personal language assistant when and where you travel abroad? Your dream is finally coming true!
Next to getting high quality translations you can ask the local Stepes translator for hotel and restaurant recommendations, or information about the transport system. While machine translation is sufficient for snippets of short texts, it is painfully inadequate for a variety of other language translation needs. For example, getting emergency medical help often involves explaining the circumstances and filling out complicated forms. Rest assured that with the Stepes Translation App, your concerns will be received by a physician the way you had intended. There are numerous other instances where human interpreters are best suited for the job such as attending an international business meeting, visiting a foreign bank to open up a temporary account, or getting directions to places you want to visit. Such requirements are beyond verbatim translation which is why only human translators can deliver what you need, with no misinterpretation or confusion – just clarity.
