Prompsit team consists of professionals specialised in natural language processing, which have participated in the development of machine translation systems since 1998. Its members are software engineers and linguists coming from the research group Transducens at the Department of Software and Computing Systems from the Universitat d’Alacant. Some of the best known projects that have involved members of our team in the Transducens group are the Spanish – Catalan system interNOSTRUM, the Spanish – Portuguese system Traductor Universia, and the free/open-source machine translation platform Apertium.
The knowledge and experience acquired in these projects inspired us to create, in 2006, the company Prompsit Language Engineering as a spin-off of the university. That same year, the company received the award IMPIVA / CEEI for the most innovative project in the competition for New Business Ideas of the Fundación Universidad Empresa (Fundeun).
Over the years, Prompsit has specialised in the management of multilingual content generation processes with the support of new language technologies, especially ones related to machine translation. It has also specialised, thanks to its activity as the main developer of the Apertium platform, in the management of free software projects.
Our service offering continues to expand to answer the needs of our clients and take advantage of the technological advances of the ICT area.
Our commitment with innovation has been materialised in the participation of several R+D projects and some own projects that have given new and better products and services. Some of our results are visible through our own web translator, the web sites of our clients or as publications or press releases.
Some Prompsit’s customers are in the public sector, such as the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, the Universitat d’Alacant, the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya or the Generalitat de Catalunya; others are companies such as Casadellibro.com, Ibermática, imaxin|software, Eleka Ingeniaritza Linguistikoa or Autodesk.
Prompsit collaborates usually with Soleil Traducciones to offer human translation and correction services.
