Calling it the world's first, multi-client, multi-conversation, real time translation platform for social media and email, Richmond Hill, ON-based Intertainment Media has launched Ortsbo.
Along with partner Hale Technologies Inc., Intertainment reports the program enables real time conversation translation in over 50 languages with seamless integration to Windows Live Messenger, Facebook, Google Talk and Microsoft Outlook
Now available online as a beta client, it's also available as an email plug in module for Microsoft Outlook.
Ortsbo for social media is easy to use and free to consumers with revenues generated through sponsorship and advertising activities.
For business users, the developer describes, Ortsbo can be licensed and customized for proprietary, secure applications allowing companies, educational institutions and government agencies to converse online and email with their constituents across a multitude of languages.
A desktop version for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) will also be available, allowing Ortsbo to ship on new desktop computers, portable and mobile devices using virtual touch keyboards.
Ortsbo will also be integrated in itiBiti, Intertainment's white label desktop application allowing major brands to create instant multiple language engagement programs with their users as soon as they turn on their computers.
"As recently as last week at Microsoft's World Partner Conference in Washington DC, we received significant interest for Ortsbo from federal and state government groups, education organizations, large corporations, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and others, as there is a distinct need to bring the world's languages together in a natural conversational flow using propriety networks and the social media platforms that millions of people use each day," said David Lucatch, CEO of Intertainment Media Inc. "Ortsbo provides an instant universal translation bridge allowing users to interact naturally and effectively in an easy to use environment."
Developed initially as a web application and an email plug in using Micrsoft's Silverlight platform, Ortsbo is currently being enhanced for desktop, mobile and console applications.
Intertainment Media owns and operates a number of key properties including Ad Taffy, itiBiti, Ortsbo and Magnum Fine Commercial Printing Limited.
