MateCat Project: a simple, web-based CAT Tool for translators
Channel: FBK - Fondazione Bruno Kessler
Date: 2013-07-11

This video introduces the scope and goals of the EU funded MateCat project.

Most professional translators work with special text editing programs, called "CAT tools". CAT stands for "Computer Assisted Translation". CAT tools support many file formats and languages; they assist translators with a suite of tools, including spell checkers, terminology managers, electronic dictionaries, translation memories, and, more recently, machine translation engines. 

The MateCat research project is developing a new web-based CAT tool featuring innovative and amazing machine translation technology, that 
- pinpoints parts of a translation that are less reliable
- instantly learns from user corrections and feedback
- and silently adapts to the document and writing style 
MateCat offers a simple, web-based CAT Tool for your business which will provide machine translation suggestions of higher quality than today's industry standards and enhance both the productivity and the user experience of translators. 

MateCat will be released freely as open source (www.matecat.com)
