KantanMT is a cloud-based statistical machine translation platform that was developed to make secure and customised machine translation more accessible for smaller Language Service Providers and internal language departments. Because the platform is cloud based, members need no special hardware or software to get started which greatly reduces the overall cost involved. Since the launch of the platform in early 2013, over 32 billion words have been uploaded by members to the KantanMT.com platform. Over 7,000 machine translation engines have been deployed, and over 350 million words have been translated. KantanMT clients range from Language Service Providers, software companies and data mining companies, to automotive and gaming firms, and online comparison sites.

Earlier this year, Tony O'Dowd, Founder and Chief Architect of KantanMT was awarded the Enterprise Ireland Information Communication Technologies Commercialisation Award 2013. The award recognised the exemplary way in which KantanMT has succeeded in bringing a publicly funded research idea from The CNGL Centre for Global Intelligent Content into thriving business reality.
