Automating Interpretation: What the Electronic World Brings to the Spoken Word

For most of us, when we think of “language interpretation” we think of oral translation: people interacting with the spoken word. We expect a good interpreter to know correct pronunciation, proper language syntax, and the cultural nuances so important to effective communication. When all these human elements are needed, how can interpretation become automated?

Dynamic Ranked 8th among Washington’s Top 100 Women Owned Businesses

In recognition of the economic power of diverse businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nation's leading multicultural internet site, recently named Dynamic Language Center as one of the “Top 100 Woman Owned businesses in the state of Washington (Div100)”. 

The Div100 is the 8th annual listing of the Washington’s top 100 women-owned businesses. The companies listed on the Div100 represent the Washington’s top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a women-owned business is small or insignificant. Div100 members are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with women owned companies. 

The impact of "women [owned] businesses and consumers [is] a growing force in the U.S. economy, and a force to be reckoned with," said Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International, the company that built DiversityBusiness.com.

Affected by recent economic and demographic trends and changes, Fortune 1000 corporations throughout the country have recognized that buying products and services from women owned companies positively impacts their business. Diversity-owned businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy. 

"These are the new leaders in American business."
