Akkadu vs. Smartling

Akkadu is very well suited for global meetings, where participants speak different languages. Or with participants who speak the same language but with a strong accent that it is difficult to understand.

Smartling is great for a company or team that doesn't have the resources to translate multiple properties in-house. It automates the process and makes it much more manageable. If you have a large website that is managed by one local team and not a global team, Smartling is for you.

• Very accurate
• Integrates with any virtual platform such as Zoom, Teams, WebEx, etc.
• Very easy-to-use

• Website translation without the need to build separate websites for additional locales
• Translation of Indesign Documents (ingests text only) without having extract text - simply upload an idml file and download the translated idml file

• It'd be great if it has AI Speech so we don't need to read the live captions. Customer service said the AI Speech feature will be released next month.

• Perhaps a global replacement feature for the translation management system (TMS)?

We think Smartling is the way forward in terms of cloud-based translation management tools.

I always receive timely and pleasant support from their Help Desk!

Akkadu.ai is more accurate. The fact in the Akkadu app you can pick accents such as English (India) or English (Australia) improves the accuracy of the AI. Also the fact you can add terminologies from your industry in advance, makes the AI more accurate as well. Akkadu is very easy-to-use Customer service speaks fluent English and Spanish

We prefer Smartling as an online CAT tool because it is easy to use and we can onboard new translators quickly without lengthy training cycles. Our customers like Smartling because they can manage all of their translation needs (website, apps, business documents) through one single platform, share style guides, glossaries and translation memory and save on translation cost over time.

• Very positive impact! Meetings with foreign clients that don't speak good English, now became very smooth.
• Colleagues that don't speak good English now can use their mother tongue during our internal meetings with the Headquarters in Germany. The HQ has noticed the engagement of the foreign colleagues has increased.

• Helped us win 3 enterprise deals where localization is a must- got us an additional $XXXk ARR.
