[THE INVESTOR] Hancom said on April 5 that it has launched an artificial intelligence powered mobile messenger translation application.

The app, available both on the Android and iOS operating systems, instantly translates texts between Korean and English, the company said. The service will be available in Chinese and Japanese sometime soon.

The homegrown software firm said it has applied a Neural Machine Translation system to the translation platform to improve translation quality and reduce errors.

The company, well known among South Koreans for its mainstay word processing computer software based on the Korean language, has been improving its translation software Genie Talk to tap deeper into the burgeoning auto-translation market.
