ezType is a predictive-text technology that helps translators work faster by monitoring what they are typing and auto-completing words or phrases. It is language independent and works in both single and double byte languages. It is integrated into the Translator Toolbar and is used to accelerate the entry of source text and glossary terms during the translations process.

How does it work?

Alchemy CATALYST monitors the keystrokes of a translator while they work. It compares these keystrokes to the glossary list, TM suggestion and original source text is then scanned to see if a possible match between both can be found. If a match is found, Alchemy CATALYST will auto-complete the word/phrase for the translator.
