The comparison results are displayed in a table, which can be exported to Excel.

• Each correction can be categorized by type and severity
• Penalties assigned for each mistake affect the quality index
• The system calculates a translation quality index based on the number of penalized mistakes per 1000 words
• You can determine your own quality evaluation scale and set your standards

• The translator can dispute the categories assigned to mistakes
• The editor may change error categories if the translator can persuade them
• The discussion between translator and proofreader is anonymous. They don't see each other's names
• If the parties don't reach an agreement, the final decision is made by an arbiter

• Fully automation: the manager only specifies the participants; the process then proceeds without his/her involvement
• The system sends email notifications to process participants, so they don't miss anything
• Customizable email and mailing templates

• Quality assessment details for each project are saved in a database, and are available anytime
• The project manager can always see translators' actual mistakes
• Translation quality reports are created using the aggregated data. For example, you can see how the quality of a translator's work has changed each month, which types of mistakes he or she makes most often, and which subjects are his/her strengths
• Based on these reports, you can make human resource decisions and develop incentive programs for your service providers
