The company Ooona, provider of management and production tools for the media localization industry, has recently launched a mobile app for iOS and Android. The app allows translators and project managers to manage their work remotely via an addition to its Ooona Integrated Platform.

It addresses the need to manage urgent and live work scheduling. Managers can view orders and tasks, assign and reassign work. It also allows for urgent jobs to pop up on translators’ mobiles when the relevant feature is enabled so that resources can be assigned promptly.

“Portability is an important asset in today’s society,” comments Wayne Garb, Ooona CEO. “It allows frequent routine tasks to be carried out even when not in front of a computer, which is key for future workspaces. When Captionmax came to us to request an app for our platform, we were thrilled to work on it as extending our tools in this way has been on our radar for a while. We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with Captionmax as a partner – they bring invaluable feedback to the table”.

“Even before COVID, our global workforce needed the ability to respond quickly to new and existing clients with new and changing project demands and deadlines,” says Tony Cleveland, Chief Technology Officer for Captionmax. “Partnering with OOONA to develop this app has helped us bring a solution to fruition”.
