TOKYO, January 29, 2015 – Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. has today added two new features to enhance the operability and convenience of its cloud-based machine translation service–the Scan Translation ServiceNote1. The Service now links to DocuWorks DeskNote2 – the interface for the Company’s document handling software DocuWorks–, as well as newly providing translation of Microsoft® Office documents.
Improved operability through linkage with DocuWorks Desk
DocuWorks Desk will function as an access window to the Scan Translation Service. Users can send translation requests and view the translated results both on their DocuWorks Desk with a simple drag and drop operationNote3 Note4.
Not only can users have documents on their DocuWorks Desk translated with the Scan Translation Service, they can also have multiple documents on one’s PC translated in a lump via their DocuWorks Desk. This seamless linkage between a user’s PC desktop to the cloud facilitates access to the Scan Translation Service.
Enhanced convenience by translating Microsoft® Office documents
Word and PowerPoint documentsNote5 Note6can now be translated on the Scan Translation Service, in addition to PDF and DocuWorks documents. Word and PowerPoint documents can be translated through interfaces such as Web browsers and DocuWorks Desk, and the translated results can be received in the same file format. This allows users to directly edit the translated Word and PowerPoint documents, thereby boosting efficiency in re-editing to make more precise translations.
