Toshiba America Business Solutions is simplifying multilingual communication with instant translations through the release of Elevate Sky Translate. The company's technology leverages AI to translate documents quickly and accurately into more than 190 languages when utilizing Toshiba e-BRIDGE MFPs.

On-demand translations present an ideal and, in many instances, a necessary solution for school districts, health care, government and retail organizations. Toshiba's new software allows these organizations and others to print, email or save a translated document directly from a Toshiba MFP to better communicate with their diverse audiences.

Delivering Fast, Clear & Inclusive Communications

Elevate Sky Translate works by autodetecting the original language of a scanned document while translating it into the desired output language directly at the MFP. Instantaneously, the newly translated documents are then available to print, email or save to a USB device.

Beyond traditional word-for-word translations, this AI-powered engine brings contextual understanding to the document to create more accurate results for greater communication success.

Elevate Sky Translate enhances communications for today's businesses in the following ways:

• Education Efficiency: Toshiba's latest software helps inform, engage and alert parents and students from diverse backgrounds by translating enrollment forms, notices and reports into their home language. Doing so further enables school districts to be compliant in this area.        
• Health Care Accuracy: Elevate Sky Translate enhances health-care communications by translating medical forms, prescription labels and discharge instructions into a language patients best understand. This is immensely important for increasing understanding while improving inpatient and outpatient care.
• Retail Personalization: Toshiba's just-released solution helps retailers create a more inclusive shopping experience while fostering deeper consumer loyalty by translating promotions, receipts and product descriptions into a shopper's desired language on the spot.
• Community Engagement: Elevate Sky Translate improves public service through community engagement and outreach by translating forms, communications and resources to constituents in real-time, ensuring everyone has equal access to essential information and services.

"Elevate Sky Translate provides a simple yet powerful solution to the challenge of communicating with a diverse audience," said Bill Melo, vice president of marketing and strategic business development, Toshiba America Business Solutions. "A single scan translates and prints documents in multiple languages, retaining the original formatting and truly helping schools and other public institutions communicate to their constituents in the language that they can best understand."
