solutions for clients with complex and novel language resource requirements by understanding the issues that lie at the intersection of language and technology. For example, Appen has tailored multi-language database development programs for a number of clients that address language, content and data volume dynamically by designing an engagement model that allows many of these variables to remain flexible. This approach allows us to accommodate changes in client requirements and priorities over an extended development timeframe.

We help clients launch language technologies in a broad range of specialized fields such as:

- Speech recognition and text-to-speech (TTS) technologies

- Text analytics/opinion mining/sentiment analysis

- Search (consumer and enterprise, horizontal and vertical)

- Natural language processing

- Machine translation

- Predictive text input

- Handwriting recognition

Clients working with emerging technologies benefit from our experience when transitioning a single-language linguistic component to a scalable development process across multiple languages. For clients working with developed technology, we define, plan and execute multi-lingual projects, creating and implementing processes and tracking progress.

Appen also has a social media division offering a moderation platform called Social Instinct (www.socialinstinct.com), which moderates content and images for its clients' social media channels in multiple languages.
