FAQ

Working with our APIs

What is Stepes?

Stepes is an on-demand mobile translation service powered by human translators from around the world. In today’s rapidly growing global digital economy, businesses need a fast and scalable translation solution to achieve international success and grow revenue worldwide. Mobile translation solutions provide unrivaled speed, flexibility, and scale that companies increasingly rely on to efficiently conduct global business operations.

What do Stepes APIs do?

Stepes APIs allow 3rd party companies to make Stepes on-demand and real-time human translations services available for their own software applications and products. Companies use Stepes APIs to build mobile apps and cloud platforms that send content for on-demand translations and receive translated results back in real time through their own software application. This provides a transparent and seamless user experience for the end customer who only interfaces with your own software applications. For example, a customer support application can use Stepes APIs to provide real time translation of questions and answers, allowing representatives to conduct international customer service.
