"Kawamura NMT powered by NICT" which is available in YarakuZen has been upgraded (v.5.0) to support the latest NT engine.

 "Kawamura NMT powered by NICT" uses a translation engine which is developed by National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT).

It is domestically produced, secure, and has a reputation for ensuring high security, because parallel translation data is not collected.

The latest NT engine offers significantly faster translation processing (approximately twice as fast as the version 4.x NMT engine, and approximately 1.1-1.3 times faster than the version 4.x NT engine), as well as better translation quality and fluency.

The following functions have been added and improved by this upgrade.

In the three specialised fields of General, Patent, and Finance, you can enjoy the high quality of translations. (Provided by Kawamura International Co., Ltd.)

Take this chance to experience translations of high quality.

The world's first portable simultaneous translation device YarakuStick (β) (https://www.yarakustick.com) is available today. 

YarakuStick (β) is a completely new simultaneous translation device. Instead of translating and speaking one sentence at a time like conventional voice translators, YarakuStick (β) will continuously perform machine translation and display it as subtitles. 

YarakuStick (β) is completely synchronized with our translation platform YarakuZen, so the accumulated translation data and the customized translation engines of YarakuZen can be used on your PC.

We are currently looking for companies to give feedback on the real-world performance of Yaraku Stick (β). Let’s build a better product together! Click here for companies who wish to participate in product testing.

We will continue to update for the official release of YarakuStick (β). 

For details, please visit YarakuStick (β) website (https://www.yarakustick.com) or see the official press release.
