FOREIGN LANGUAGE TRANSCRIPTION AND ANNOTATION

GSG provides language support in a variety of languages, including Chinese, Arabic, and Spanish. GSG provides our customers with advanced language transcription, annotation, interpretation, computational linguistics and information technology to support their missions. We specialize in all facets of language and analytical support. Our high-quality linguists provide outstanding support throughout the life cycle of all projects we undertake.

GSG is unique in the foreign language markets in that it can combine language expertise with IT skills that support the document exploitation (DOCEX) process.  With world-wide unrest in these uncertain times, the US government faces a huge backlog of documents that must be translated, analyzed, and disseminated to appropriate parties.  Our government is looking ever more to automated translation solutions where technology assists ands speeds up the translation process.  GSG has exceptional capability in both language translations and the technical aspects of document exploitation.
