Features and Benefits

High-Precision Automatic TranslationTakaden’s translation engine—developed through consistent dedication to improving language processing technology since our founding—is among the best in the Japanese industry!
To further improve translation quality, we include high-performance tools as standard features. With specialized dictionaries for various fields, user-customizable dictionaries, and translation memories that ensure consistent translations, you can easily boost translation accuracy and workflow efficiency. Our solutions are widely adopted by government agencies, major portals, e-commerce sites, social media platforms, and more. -
Native-Level Text-to-SpeechBy incorporating “HOYA Corporation VoiceText,” the industry’s leading text-to-speech engine, the system clearly pronounces any text. Furthermore, rather than reading text in a flat, monotonous tone like traditional text-to-speech systems, it achieves natural intonation that closely resembles a human voice.
It has a proven track record of implementation in numerous broadcasting systems, including disaster prevention, airports, bus terminals, and TV narration. -
Wide Range of SpeakersSpeakers for Japanese, English (U.S./U.K.), Chinese, and Korean are available. We offer a variety of voices—from cheerful to calm, and both male and female—making this system suitable for a wide range of scenarios as a means of conveying information.
-
Reliable Customer SupportWe provide meticulous support from implementation through post-installation. In addition to technical support, we have established a support system to handle various inquiries regarding translation and system operation.

Comprehensive "Technical Terminology Dictionaries" for Translation!
By incorporating an industry-leading number of specialized terminology dictionaries, we’ve achieved an unprecedented level of translation accuracy. For fields with particularly high demand, we’ve taken care not to simply add more dictionaries, but to include only carefully selected ones—ensuring the overall translation quality remains uncompromised.
