Discover Broca’s main features
COLLABORATION HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER.
With Broca’s streamlined communication and request management, you’ll have a smoother ride to delivering quality.
STREAMLINE TRANSLATION REQUEST COORDINATION
Creating a new request is a snap, either in-house by the translation department or directly by the client through the secure portal. In the latter case, the client uploads the text to be translated to the portal with their instructions. The text will be delivered using the same medium. Meanwhile, your coordinators can easily divide the work into steps (translation, revision, etc.), or even between several translators, assigning a chunk of the document to each one.
ASSIGN RESOURCES TO THE TASKS
RBroca allows coordinators to note translators’ schedules in order to map the workload and each person’s availability according to a volume you predefine. The system displays the number of words to translate, currently undergoing translation or dispatched externally in real time, both overall and for each translator or reviser.
VIEW YOUR REQUEST’S PROGRESS IN REAL TIME
See who’s doing what at all times. If necessary, modify processes according to new constraints or opportunities. Handle requests more efficiently—and deliver them more quickly.
ASSESS THE QUALITY OF THE WORK
After each revision, revisers can provide feedback to translators. Each person involved in the request can comment on others’ work. This can be valuable information for planning subsequent requests.
... And even more.
Collect data and publish reports
Broca’s reports show resource utilization, the amount of work being outsourced and done internally, which clients are sending the most requests, etc.—critical information required for making key management decisions.
Store and transfer documents securely
Broca’s hosting server architecture and its user-access rights far exceed the highest industry standards. In addition, all communications are encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
Training takes hours, not weeks
What good is a tool if it’s too complicated to use? Just one short and sweet training session, and you’ll have mastered Broca’s features

Have any questions about Broca?
We will answer them all.FOR A DEMO OR FOR ANY QUESTION, CONTACT US!
Can we get a trial version?
Yes and no. We’ve actually noticed that trial versions of software are rarely put to use—not to mention that they’re never configured correctly. They’re mostly useful for seeing what the interface looks like. However, we believe that online demo software serves that purpose better. Want to discover Broca? Contact us and we’ll get you started.
Will my data really be safe?
Broca is very secure! Without going into too much detail, we have three-tier firewalls and SSL encryption on servers and databases, not to mention that each client has a separate instance to ensure that data is never compromised.
What is software as a service?
Software as a service, or SaaS, is the most current way to get a customized application. It eliminates the need to install software on your existing computers—you just need Internet access and a web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Internet Explorer) on a Mac or Windows PC.
Can we export our data?
The data you collect in Broca can be exported. If, for any reason, you decide to stop using Broca, we will work with you to convert your data to your preferred format.
