Subject-matter expertise
Post-editors fluent in both generative AI and your field. They know where models shine, where their output quietly goes wrong, and how to turn a fluent draft into something accurate, on-brand, and ready to publish.
Gen AI post-editing services (AIPE)
Combine the fluency of generative AI with human expertise. AIPE delivers publication-ready content at lower cost and faster turnaround than traditional translation, while upholding the quality your content requires.
Fluent AI, refined by human judgment
Raw generative AI is fast and fluent, but not always publication-ready, and it can drift from your terminology or invent phrasing that reads well but misses the mark. Fully human translation is high quality, but often impractical for large volumes. Gen AI post-editing sits between the two: a large language model produces a context-aware draft, and professional linguists refine it into content that meets your standards at lower cost and faster turnaround than traditional translation.
The economics are simple. Gen AI handles the bulk of the work, with a stronger grasp of context and tone than traditional machine translation. Human editors focus where it matters: accuracy, terminology, catching the plausible-but-wrong output generative models can produce, and adapting to your audience. This typically lands 30 to 40% below the cost of full human translation, so your budget buys more and your timelines compress.

When "clear enough" is the goal
Some content just needs to be understood. Internal wikis, support tickets, knowledge bases, and other high-volume informational material rarely warrant polished prose, they need to be accurate and easy to follow. Light post-editing targets exactly that: linguists clear up anything that blocks understanding and leave stylistic polish aside.
It is the most economical tier for pure information transfer. Because generative AI already produces readable, natural-sounding drafts, light post-editing on Gen AI output often needs fewer interventions than older workflows, editors resolve genuine errors and confirm the meaning lands, then move on. No rewriting for style, no fine-tuning word choice.
Publication-ready, without the full price
For anything that carries your brand, marketing, campaigns, customer-facing material, the bar is higher, and full post-editing meets it. Here linguists work the draft harder: sharpening style, smoothing flow, checking cultural fit, and shaping copy that reads as though a native speaker wrote it from scratch.
Generative AI gives this tier a real head start, since its drafts already capture tone and context better than machine translation ever did. Your editors build on that head start rather than rebuilding from a rough draft, so you reach human-level output while still saving meaningfully on cost and time.
The right model for the job
No single AI model wins across every language and content type. Some are stronger on marketing register, others on technical precision, others on specific language pairs. Drawing on 100+ optimized AI engines and leading language models, we test and choose what performs best for your material, and for high-volume clients, tune models and refine prompts against your own content to lift quality further.
The better the draft, the lighter the post-editing, and the lower the cost. Our upfront model assessment means every project runs on the AI best suited to it, not a one-size-fits-all default that leaves your editors correcting avoidable mistakes.
Your voice, not the model's defaults
However fluent it sounds, a generative model does not know your terminology or your brand voice, left alone, it reaches for generic vocabulary and phrasing that shifts from one document to the next. We wire your glossaries, tone, and style rules into both the AI generation step and the post-editing brief.
From there, editors hold the line: enforcing approved terms, overriding any AI phrasing that breaks your style, and keeping voice consistent across every document and project. What ships sounds like you, not like a language model's defaults.
The numbers behind AIPE
The gains show up across four dimensions, cost, speed, accuracy, and quality. On suitable content, industry benchmarks put AIPE at 40 to 60% below the cost of human translation and 30 to 50% faster. Enforced glossaries and terminology controls cut terminology errors by up to 80%. And by selecting the best of 100+ optimized AI engines and language models per language pair and domain, output quality rises by up to 20% across combinations, with human review built in throughout.
Those figures assume the right conditions: content that genuinely suits AIPE, well-chosen models, and skilled post-editors. We help you pick the content that fits, configure the technology around it, and set quality thresholds per use case, so the efficiency is real and your standards still hold.
