KantanAnalytics generates quality estimation scores for automated translations generated by KantanMT engines. The quality estimation score is designed to be similar to a Fuzzy Match report from a TM. The more segments there are with a higher % quality score, the better the translation is. This means translations are more accurate and fluent and require less post-editing effort.
When a KantanAnalytics job is run, it creates: a translated source document, an XLIFF of that document and also a detailed project management report of all the segments in your translation. This includes segment-by-segment quality estimation scores in addition to other useful project statistics such as word count, character count, placeholder and tag counts.
KantanAnalytics can help Project Managers predict the cost and post-editing effort for Machine Translation projects. Prioritizing the right translations through segment quality estimation will yield the fastest possible project turn-around.
