December 16 2014 - 9:08AM
Yappn Corp. ("Yappn" or "Company") (OTCQB:YPPN) a
leader in real-time language technology, today announced that it
has signed an initial agreement with New York based VerbalizeIt
(www.verbalizeit.com), offering a technology platform that drives
business internationalization through access to a 20,000-person
curated community of human translators. Yappn's algorithmic and
real time automated language platform and VerbalizeIt will look to
mutually provide services to each other as well as to the other
party's existing and new clients to increase service offerings
leveraging efficiencies and effectiveness with a focus on Ecommerce
and related revenue areas.
The relationship between VerbalizeIt and Yappn is a natural fit
as each company services the same verticals of online responsive
data, Ecommerce, web events and video captioning albeit in
different manners. Yappn provides real time algorithmic and
automated language services while VerbalizeIt provides timely
and high-quality human-powered translation services. Each
provides similar integration methods for clients to easily
implement and globalize their properties allowing for increased
efficiencies and economies of scale. These services will
furnish online content providers, Ecommerce companies and others
with services to quickly provide responsive opportunities to their
customers and update content, where necessary, in a quick
turnaround manner, keeping customers at the forefront of the
language experience and allowing vendors to reach new and global
audiences.
The business opportunities may expand to both Yappn's FotoYapp
(www.FotoYapp.com) platform offering real time global image and
video sharing and Yappn's social and chat platform, where
enterprises can offer users commenting and engagement
opportunities.
"Our partnership with Yappn will allow us to broaden our reach
and deepen the degree to which our platform and community of
translators power business internationalization for small and
medium-sized businesses and enterprises alike. Moreover, we're
excited to work with an adept and proven team of leaders to create
the best outcome for our customers and make translation more
accessible to everyone," said Ryan Frankel CEO of VerbalizeIt.
Yappn and VerbalizeIt will work cooperatively to augment the
core services that each entity has to offer. Yappn will
provide real time language services for instant updates to the
VerbalizeIt customers and VerbalizeIt will provide accuracy edits
and language verification for Yappn's customer
base. This partnership will allow users to make updates
to their site or store and have the benefit of an instant
globalization with Yappn's technologies and VerbalizeIt will verify
and correct the text if required shortly thereafter.
"The opportunity with VerbalizeIt allows us to quickly be
responsive to our growing Ecommerce client needs where localization
and cultural language services need constant engagement. We
believe that there will be a broad sphere of new business
opportunities that will develop through our partnership with
VerbalizeIt," said David Lucatch, Founder and CEO of Yappn
Corp. "Each Company has unique abilities that will enhance
the services of the other and provide an effective draw for
businesses looking for a way to globalize their efforts."
