Understand Smartwords

What are Smartwords? | Smartcat Help Center Discover what Smartwords are and how they are used for AI translation. "Smartwords" refer to your balance of words for AI translation and translation memory use in Smartcat. They are, essentially, your form of automatic translation “currency” inside Smartcat. What do Smartwords do? Each time you perform an AI translation, Smartcat AI chooses the most appropriate automatic translation engine for you from under the Smartcat hood with the objective of translating with the highest accuracy possible and of minimizing post-editing requirements. Each time you post-edit your translations on Smartcat, it saves your changes to your own private Smartcat “brain”. As a result, you grow your linguistic resources database – translation memories and glossaries – which, in turn, reduces time and cost for human expert review, and your translation quality increases over time. Your Smartwords balance Your Smartwords balance is always in plain view. Simply go to the Smartwords usage tab and choose the time period to see how a breakdown of your Smartwords usage and your remaining balance. With each use of Smartcat AI translation and translation memories, Smartcat automatically reflects the corresponding Smartword usage in your updated Smartwords balance.

We call them so because they are based on technology that selects the best and quickest way to translate your texts. Smartwords are more flexible than old TM limits. You can spend them towards using translation memories (TM) or machine translation (MT). The more Smartwords you use, the more you save! To learn how Smartwords work, check out this page.

Recalculation of MT and OCR pages to Smartwords If you have additional MT pages bought in your account, the unused MT pages (including fractional amounts) will be converted to Smartwords according to this formula: 1 MT page = 250 Smartwords. These converted Smartwords will have the same expiration date as the MT pages you had. You also get unlimited access to OCR technology. You can freely use your PDF or image files and process them with OCR for as long as you have Smartwords on your balance to translate those files.
