Dialexy

What Dialexy does

Dialexy Ltd is a privately held Edinburgh-based company (founded 2016) that provides certified and sworn translations of official documents for international mobility, covering immigration, education, and employment use cases across 100+ languages. The company combines a network of 70+ certified translators worldwide with proprietary AI-driven document recognition and processing technology, marketed as a "Human-Centered AI" approach. Its flagship asset is an exclusive six-year partnership with UK ENIC and Ecctis (the UK government's qualification recognition service), making Dialexy the sole recommended certified translation provider for Statement of Comparability and related applications.

The company operates three specialised self-serve platforms: a general translation portal (translate.dialexy.com), a UK ENIC/Ecctis-specific platform (ecctis.dialexy.com), and a Spanish consulate / autoridad platform (spanish-certified-translations.dialexy.com). It also runs dedicated sub-pages targeting professional verticals including lawyers, teachers, engineers, medical professionals, and accountants, with workflows tailored to the UK Solicitors Regulation Authority, General Medical Council, Engineering Council, UK Teaching Councils, and the Law Society of Scotland. CEO Mónica Camino Moreno is a Traductora-Intérprete Jurada appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2008), and CTO Dr. Blaise Potard leads a proprietary Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) tool presented at CIUTI 2018.

Dialexy generates revenue through transaction-based, per-document pricing with instant online quotes (typical ticket sizes around £30–50 for criminal record translations with no convictions), under a pay-as-you-go model with no subscriptions. Go-to-market is primarily product-led growth via self-serve platforms, supplemented by event participation (CIUTI, UK ENIC conferences), content marketing, social media, and a referral programme. Reported customer satisfaction is 4.8/5 on Google Reviews across 119 reviews. The company has received only two disclosed funding events (CodeBase in 2014 and Apollo Informal Investment in 2022), suggesting a largely bootstrapped operating model with 1–10 core employees.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Rev: Rev is a large online translation and transcription services marketplace combining AI and human linguists. Comparable to Dialexy as a digital platform offering certified-grade human translation on demand, though it serves a much broader set of customers and content types.
• Translated.net: Translated.net is a long-established AI-augmented professional translation platform serving enterprises and individuals with on-demand human translation. It is a broad incumbent competing with Dialexy for certified and general translation demand, though with a wider scope and global enterprise footprint.
• Lionbridge: Lionbridge is one of the largest global language services providers offering certified, notarised, and sworn translation through enterprise workflows. It competes with Dialexy in regulated document translation, though it serves large enterprises and government agencies rather than self-serve individuals.
• LanguageLine Solutions: LanguageLine Solutions is a major US- and UK-headquartered provider of interpretation and translation services, including certified document translation, serving government, healthcare, and legal clients. It is a broad incumbent competing with Dialexy in regulated certified translation channels, especially for public-sector and institutional accounts.

Emerging players

• KantanMT: KantanMT provides AI-powered machine translation engines and CAT tools for professional translators and language service providers. It is adjacent to Dialexy in providing AI-enabled translation tooling, although it targets language service companies rather than end-customer certified translations.
• Stepes: Stepes is an on-demand professional and certified translation app and platform with mobile-first ordering. Comparable to Dialexy as a digital, app-based certified translation service targeting individual customers, though Stepes is more generalist in its professional credentials coverage.

Others

• GoTranscript: GoTranscript is an online transcription and translation services provider with global human linguist coverage. It is thematically related to Dialexy as a digital, self-serve platform for certified language services, but its primary focus is on transcription rather than certified immigration/regulatory document translation.

Direct peers

• Gengo: Gengo operates an online human translation platform with API and self-serve ordering across many language pairs. It is comparable to Dialexy as a digital, on-demand translation platform, although Gengo is less specialised in UK/ENIC-certified translation workflows.
• Day Translations: Day Translations offers certified and notarised document translation services across many languages with online ordering. It is a direct competitor to Dialexy in the certified translation online marketplace, particularly for immigration, legal, and personal document use cases.

Regional players

• Smartling: Smartling is a translation management platform combining AI with human linguists, focused primarily on enterprise content localisation. It is adjacent to Dialexy in its AI-plus-human model and platform approach, but its core customer and use case (digital content localisation) differs from Dialexy's certified document focus.
