Appen offers a wide variety of services to technology companies seeking to compete and expand in the global marketplace. Our services are tailored to fit the specific needs of each client project — ranging from acting as an accelerator for rapid market expansion to acting as an enabler with large-scale data for established technology. We provide solutions for clients with complex and novel language resource requirements by understanding the issues that lie at the intersection of language and technology. For example, Appen has tailored multi-language database development programs for a number of clients that address language, content and data volume dynamically by designing an engagement model that allows many of these variables to remain flexible. This approach allows us to accommodate changes in client requirements and priorities over an extended development timeframe. We help clients launch language technologies in a broad range of specialized fields such as: - Speech recognition and text-to-speech (TTS) technologies - Text analytics/opinion mining/sentiment analysis - Search (consumer and enterprise, horizontal and vertical) - Natural language processing - Machine translation - Predictive text input - Handwriting recognition Clients working with emerging technologies benefit from our experience when transitioning a single-language linguistic component to a scalable development process across multiple languages. For clients working with developed technology, we define, plan and execute multi-lingual projects, creating and implementing processes and tracking progress. Appen also has a social media division offering a moderation platform called Social Instinct (www.socialinstinct.com), which moderates content and images for its clients' social media channels in multiple languages.
