About
Babylon Software provides translation and language-learning solutions for individuals and corporations. The company's desktop tool is available as a free download and provides translations in more than 77 languages. Babylon's translator uses optical character recognition (OCR), which enables the system to identify both the term to be translated as well as the text surrounding it. Working both online and offline with just a click of a mouse, Babylon delivers instant results without the need to change applications. The company's language solutions include professional translation of official documents, mobile apps, instant grammar correction to assist users with their writing, and language-learning programs for kids and adults.
