Founded in 2007, RantNetwork’s vision is simple: “Imagine a world without language barriers”. Based on that vision, RantNetwork’s goal is to provide mobile language translation applications that break down normal communication boundaries. The labors of that vision have given birth to Communilator. Soon to become an industry standard, Communilator is destined to make paper dictionaries and phrasebooks a thing of the past.

RantNetwork’s Communilator now provides support for over 1600 different language pairs with more being added constantly. With development teams throughout the United States, RantNetwork has created a “best of breed” solution based on the fusion of mobile, internet and machine language technologies. RantNetwork’s flexible architecture allows for the rapid implementation of new or more accurate language pairs. RantNetwork’s development team searches the world over to partner with the technology leaders in machine language translation, voice recognition, voice synthesizers and OCR so that they always offer the newest and most accurate solutions.

Besides offering text to text and text to speech translation, RantNetwork is the only company that offers image text translation. RantNetwork was the first to recognize that sometimes entering text is not possible. Therefore they have created the world’s only Blackberry camera image text translation solution. In an industry first, RantNetwork’s Communilator allows the user to translate text captured with the mobile phone camera.

RantNetwork – we’ve got the world talking.
