IBA Molecular signs with SpeakLike for real-time translation chat

IBA Molecular will use translation service SpeakLike with its PETLinQ, a web-based application used to transport diagnostic images and reports from medical facilities to referring physicians.

The New York-based SpeakLike said the service will provide service and support to the doctors, radiologists, clinic staff and patients in the imaging centers and hospitals that use PETLinQ software.

SpeakLike is an internet chat translation service that integrates automated and human translation. The service makes it possible to type text in one's own language and have others see it in theirs, accurately and within seconds, according to IBA Molecular.
