If you’re nowhere near a Xerox MFP, you can access the translation services using iOS and Android apps or through a Web portal. “It lowers the barrier for companies” looking to get their goods and services into the hands of new, non-English speaking customers. Businesses seeking opportunities beyond their borders, or wanting to engage with various local ethnicities, can use the service to speak their language and “get a sense of what’s going on in foreign markets,” he said.
You can output the document as a hardcopy or as a digital file.įor SMBs, the Xerox Easy Translation Service helps open the door to foreign markets, said ABBYY vice president Anton Voronov. The translated document follows the format of the original document-ABBYY’s imaging expertise at work. On a Xerox MFP, the Easy Translation Service app lets you scan a document, and then translate it into more than 35 languages. “The ability to take a paper document, translate it, and print it in a multifunction printer (MFP), involves other technologies.”
ABBYY operates the service under license from Xerox.įerreira’s team worked with ABBYY because the company “offered more than just the simple translation,” he said. Recently, in partnership with optical character recognition (OCR) specialist, the company launched its new Xerox Easy Translation Service. While these capabilities come in handy, Xerox set its sights higher. “Rather than expect our customers to scan to email, and then push that file, they can print and scan directly to those repositories,” keeping mobile workers in the loop. “We enabled a lot of cloud services right in our MFP,” he continued. Xerox aims to create “the best gateway between paper and digital worlds,” Ferreira told Small Business Computing. Similarly, apps for DropBox, Google Drive, Box and OneDrive help businesses share content over their preferred cloud file storage service. Rui Ferreira, senior director and general manager of Xerox global office solutions, defined ConnectKey as an extensibility platform that helps transform a Xerox multifunction printer into a productivity-enhancing fixture of the modern, mobile- and cloud-enabled workplace.įor example, ConnectKey apps let you add document printing and scanning to your Microsoft Office 365 workflows. Much of that effort centers around the company’s ConnectKey-enabled multifunction printers (MFPs). Xerox may be known best for its copiers and enterprise document management services, but over the years, the office equipment maker has also increased the content-management possibilities for small and midsized businesses (SMBs).
