eBhasha Setu

eBhasha Setu works on translation and localisation in Indian languages, as well as English and Arabic. The Indian company combines its own software with human translators and transcribers, and handles written documents, websites and audio-visual content.

What eBhasha Setu offers

• Transzaar — a platform that supports human translators with language tools and text analysis such as named entity extraction.
• Webzaar — localisation of websites and apps through a JavaScript widget, so the underlying code stays unchanged.
• Videozaar — transcription, translation and subtitling, starting either from speech recognition drafts or from scratch.
• Avataar — OCR tuned for Indian scripts that converts scans and images into editable, translated text while keeping the layout.
• Other language services — transliteration, book translation, text-to-speech and speech-to-text.
