Mütercem explained
A translation, transcription and proofreading platform for scientific modern and ancient languages.
One platform, specialized portals
Mütercem is a single platform built for people who work with academic and research texts. It brings a wide field together in specialized portals: from translating articles, theses and reports to reading Ottoman manuscripts, and from ancient languages such as Syriac and Sumerian to dead languages.
Each portal is built for a specific language family and type of work. An Ottoman document and a scientific article are not processed with the same tool and settings; each is handled in the portal suited to its field.
You can work by pasting text, uploading a Word or PDF file, or providing an image. Every portal includes OCR.
Why Mütercem?
Portals built for their field
Modern scientific languages, Turkic languages, Ottoman Turkish, ancient and dead languages are handled in separate portals.
A platform that reads, then translates
Scanned documents, photos and manuscripts are first turned into text, then translated.
From translation to proofreading
Translation, transcription and proofreading live in the same account and the same history.
All portals in one package
You don't buy portals one by one; a single package gives you access to all of them.
