The MT Engine and Why It’s Important
A machine translation engine generates the MT you post-edit. Online MT services, like Google, DeepL, etc, have hundreds of these engines because there’s one engine for each language pair in each direction.
In the early 2000s, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) were added to MT engines. These new engines were pushed into the cloud because PCs weren’t powerful enough to run the ML and AI technologies.
To meet millions of people’s demands across virtually every possible topic, these engines are created as a jack of all trades, master of none. That is, they dabble across all subjects but they don’t have your mastery of a trade or specialty. They do their best but make lots of mistakes.
Now decades later, MT engines with ML and AI easily run on modern PCs. These engines with intuitive user-friendly software open new and exciting possibilities. That’s where our products come in.

Do you remember that I said the MT engine is responsible for the quality of the MT you post-edit? That it’s responsible for your post-editing experience?
That means the engine is responsible for your bottom line. Change the engine and change your bottom line.
So, imagine how much better MT could be if an engine learned your mastery of a subject. Your post-editing experience becomes more like proofreading at full translation rates. Your bottom line soars!
That’s what Slate Desktop™ is about! It builds customized MT engines that encapsulate your mastery of a trade. It generates better MT, improves your post-editing experience, and strengthens your bottom line.

Trio of Metaphors
One Size Fits All
Online engines are the one-size-fits-all of machine translation. Like factory-made one-size-fits-all clothing, the MT you buy from online factories is convenient and cheap, but it rarely represents the best possible MT. Slate Rocks LLC does not offer generic, one-size-fits-all online services.
Ready to Wear
Ready-Made MT Engines are the ready-to-wear of machine translation. Like a seamstress adjusts affordable department store clothes for a better fit, ready-made engines are convenient and affordable, plus you can adjust them to fit your work. Learn more about Ready-Made QMT™.
Bespoke Tailoring
Customized MT Engines are the bespoke tailoring of machine translation. Like tailor-crafted suits, customized engines deliver a bespoke post-editing experience because they’re built with your knowledge and writing style. Unlike tailored suits, they’re affordable! Learn more about Slate Desktop™.
