New features

Engines for automatic speech recognition and machine translation were added to the system.

These are created as resources and assigned to tasks in the system. Engines will perform the required actions once the task they are assigned to is ready to start:

For a more detailed explanation of this functionality, please check the Engines manual.

Engines are not available by default. If you’d like to enable the functionality, please reach out to us to know the requirements.

Languages can now be added to resources as language pairs, instead of as just source and target languages, enabling more control over what tasks a resource can be assigned to:

Once enabled, populate the Source language (1) and Target language (2) fields. The system will generate a list of possible language pairs.

After saving, the selected language pairs will be added to the list and will be applied when assigning the resource to tasks.

The icon for Languages in the resource’s profile and in the resources page will change to indicate language pairs are being used:

A resource can only use either languages or language pairs.

If a user has both set up, only the currently enabled option will be applied.

The split task functionality has been completed reworked.

A split wizard has been added.

Tasks can now be split by either duration, number of subtitles, or split according to the previous task in the flow.

The split will also be reflected in the Toolkit:

Support for pivot languages has been added.

If used, the system will treat the first selected target language as pivot. The remaining languages will treat the pivot language as the source language to filter assignable resources and assign rates.

This functionality can be enabled from: Administrator > Web administrator > Configuration > Settings.

Once enabled, in the order creation process the “Use pivot language” option will be available.

The pivot language can also be enabled or disabled in existing orders via the new toggle in the Order info page.

Support for supplier script has been added.

With a supplier script, a different script type (with script, without script) can be used for different tasks.

This will reflect itself in rate calculation,

This functionality can be enabled from: Administrator > Web administrator > Configuration > Settings.

Once enabled a new field will be available in the Order info page:

 

A new column will be available in the Order tasks page. Marked tasks will use the supplier script to calculate the rate.

This can also be preset at the same places as other task settings:
