NEW YORK, NY – December 16, 2014 – Yappn Corp. (“Yappn” or “Company”) (OTCQB:YPPN) a leader in real-time language technology, today announced that it has signed an initial agreement with New York based VerbalizeIt (www.verbalizeit.com), offering a technology platform that drives business internationalization through access to a 20,000-person curated community of human translators. Yappn’s algorithmic and real time automated language platform and VerbalizeIt will look to mutually provide services to each other as well as to the other party’s existing and new clients to increase service offerings leveraging efficiencies and effectiveness with a focus on Ecommerce and related revenue areas.
The relationship between VerbalizeIt and Yappn is a natural fit as each company services the same verticals of online responsive data, Ecommerce, web events and video captioning albeit in different manners. Yappn provides real time algorithmic and automated language services while VerbalizeIt provides timely and high-quality human-powered translation services. Each provides similar integration methods for clients to easily implement and globalize their properties allowing for increased efficiencies and economies of scale. These services will furnish online content providers, Ecommerce companies and others with services to quickly provide responsive opportunities to their customers and update content, where necessary, in a quick turnaround manner, keeping customers at the forefront of the language experience and allowing vendors to reach new and global audiences.
The business opportunities may expand to both Yappn’s FotoYapp (www.FotoYapp.com) platform offering real time global image and video sharing and Yappn’s social and chat platform, where enterprises can offer users commenting and engagement opportunities.
“Our partnership with Yappn will allow us to broaden our reach and deepen the degree to which our platform and community of translators power business internationalization for small and medium-sized businesses and enterprises alike. Moreover, we’re excited to work with an adept and proven team of leaders to create the best outcome for our customers and make translation more accessible to everyone,” said Ryan Frankel CEO of VerbalizeIt.
Yappn and VerbalizeIt will work cooperatively to augment the core services that each entity has to offer. Yappn will provide real time language services for instant updates to the VerbalizeIt customers and Verbalize It will provide accuracy edits and language verification for Yappn’s customer base. This partnership will allow users to make updates to their site or store and have the benefit of an instant globalization with Yappn’s technologies and VerbalizeIt will verify and correct the text if required shortly thereafter.
“The opportunity with VerbalizeIt allows us to quickly be responsive to our growing Ecommerce client needs where localization and cultural language services need constant engagement. We believe that
there will be a broad sphere of new business opportunities that will develop through our partnership with VerbalizeIt” said David Lucatch, Founder and CEO of Yappn Corp. “Each Company has unique abilities that will enhance the services of the other and provide an effective draw for businesses looking for a way to globalize their efforts.”
