Translation is fun again!
Your new coworker managing the repetitive tasks. Searchspeare combines a powerful, user-friendly editor with deterministic AI that ensures consistent results beyond just translation.
Meet Searchspeare: The new CAT tool in town
Another CAT tool? Was it necessary? Well, we believe so. Searchspeare is not just another CAT tool; it's a lightning-fast web app designed to make translators' lives easier — without the clutter of irrelevant context — because we think every other CAT tool is getting what really matters to translators wrong.
Automating the repetitive tasks
Translation is not a deterministic task in essence, because it’s linked to human creativity and taste. Every translator has its own style — and that’s what makes each translation unique.
However, there are many repetitive and boring tasks that can be automated and Searchspeare will gladly take care of them for you: changing the use of formal vs informal address (T‑V distinction), fixing tags, changing date formats, or ensuring consistency in terminology.
Formal ↔ informal tone (T‑V)
Switch tone across all segments in one go — and keep it consistent from start to finish.
Change date formats
Convert date formats across the entire document without hunting them down segment by segment.
Terminology consistency
Keep specific terms in the original language or enforce preferred variants — reliably and at scale.
Features
Everything you need to translate faster and better.
Powerful, user-friendly editor
Searchspeare’s strength is its editor. It enables fast, efficient writing with mini tools right in the segment toolbar. Whether you’re a shortcuts ninja or prefer clicking buttons, everything is right there. The editor is reactive and aware of its own state — it detects missing tags or terminology, recognizes when text is selected, and surfaces relevant commands to help you act quickly.
Integrated AI, used deterministically
Searchspeare includes AI directly in the editor. Use deterministic actions that behave the same way every time, so you get consistent and reliable results beyond just translation.
Surgical editions
Apply pinpoint edits across a selection: swap a word for a better synonym, adjust tone, normalize dates, fix tags, or keep terms in the original language — without rewriting whole segments.
Regular Expressions. Yes, regex!
Searchspeare supports regex in find & replace and filters. And no: you don’t need to be a regex wizard — just tell Searchspeare what you want to match, and it will create the regex for you. But if you *are* a regex expert, you can craft your own patterns and paste them in too.
Advanced tag handling
Searchspeare highlights tags with clear color-coding for easy scanning, detects missing or misplaced tags, and provides tools to automatically fix and normalize tags so formatting survives every export.
Multi Search
Open your favorite search engines right from the editor by selecting a term. Launch multiple engines at once as groups, switch between them easily, and even create custom search engines in a couple of clicks.
Glossary management and extraction
Create and maintain glossaries, extract terms from projects, and keep preferred terminology consistent across your work. You can also create automatic glossaries from your translations, or from existing files or even from text copied from the internet.
Extracting terminology
Beautiful charts
Earnings over time, top clients, language pairs, client acquisition, expertise areas, revenue concentration, workload distribution, productivity, time tracking… you name it! Use these insights to spot your most profitable clients, compare earnings across any period, and understand where your time really goes.
Team Row or Team Column?
Depending on your screen size and personal preference, you can choose to display your segments side by side (in a row) or stacked (in a column).
But friends don’t let friends translate in rows!
