For documents that cannot be sent anywhere

Some material cannot be uploaded to a translation service at any price — unfiled contracts, tender documents before award, material under embargo, anything where a confidentiality undertaking makes transmission itself the problem.

We built a translation environment for exactly that: it runs offline, deterministically, and produces evidence of how it ran.

How the assurance works

No network calls in the runtime — no machine translation service, no cloud inference, no external lookup
Environment sealing — network and process state are tested and recorded before the run begins
Tamper-evident audit — every action recorded in an append-only, hash-chained log; checkpoints cryptographically signed
Input and output hashing — what went in and what came out, provably the same files
Your rules, compiled — your requirements become a signed, versioned profile that the run is tested against
Controlled destruction — retention policy enforced, with a certificate when material is destroyed
Standard interchange — XLIFF, TMX, TBX and SRX, so nothing is locked in

What this cannot prove

This matters more than the feature list, and we would rather you heard it from us.

The system can show that a defined run happened inside a controlled environment, using approved deterministic functions and human work. It cannot establish what a translator may have consulted on a separate device. It cannot prove that material you supplied was never machine translated before it reached us. It cannot turn an unsigned human declaration into a technical fact.

Higher assurance is built by adding device custody, supervised transfer, identity controls and independent review on top of the technical evidence — not by claiming the software proves more than it does. A failed check is disclosed as a failure; it never quietly becomes a pass.

Current status

This is an early-stage system in active development. The processing pipeline and the audit catalogue are built and working; packaging and the full customer evidence package are still in progress. We are talking to a small number of organisations whose work needs this. If that is you, tell us what you are handling and what you have to prove.

Kind words of Happy Clients

The Uni-edit team worked hard to complete the editorial work in a week. I believe all the Academic scholars ever work with Uni-edit will recommend it certainly.

Associate Professor Hung-Bin Lee

Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Da-Yeh University

The main reason I would keep sending my papers to Uni-edit and recommend Uni-edit to other professors is they allow me to focus on improving the research content and do not need to worry about the language writing in English.

ASK A QUESTION

How long does editing usually take?

Most standard editing is completed in five days, including weekends. Timing depends on file condition, service level, complexity and current capacity, and the delivery date is confirmed in your detailed quotation.

I think my English is poor. Do I need the rewriting service?

If you think your paper needs rewriting, please ask customer service in your email. We will determine if rewriting is required and inform you before editing your paper. Generally, if more than 20% of sentences need rewriting (the whole sentence needs correction) then you must use the rewriting service. For rewriting, you do need to choose a Level. We will do the best editing job possible.

Who will edit my paper?

To achieve a consistently high quality service, Uni-edit uses two editor roles on your conference or journal paper. The first Editor is qualified in your general area of expertise. The second Editor is also qualified in your general area and has exceptional English and editing skills. All Editors are professionally trained. Our Senior Editor takes overall responsibility for the quality of every edit. Authors are often surprised how the Editors seem to understand the content of the research, even if it is very technical or mathematical.

I used generative AI to help write my paper. Is that a problem?

No, and it helps us if you tell us. Many journals now ask authors to declare how generative AI was used, and the wording each publisher expects is different. Let customer service know when you submit, and your editors will read the manuscript with that in mind and help you word the declaration your target journal asks for. Where AI drafted substantial passages, the Rewrite service is usually the right choice, because those passages need more than sentence-level correction. Telling us early is far easier than answering a reviewer's question later.

For a journal paper, Level 2 or Level 3 editing?

For a journal submission, Level 3 is the safer choice. Both levels put two editors on your paper, but Level 3 goes beyond language: it refines paragraph and document structure, strengthens how your argument is formed, and improves flow and consistency. That is what reviewers comment on when the science is sound but the writing gets in the way. Level 2 suits a manuscript that is already well structured and mainly needs the language corrected. If you drafted with generative AI, ask about the Rewrite service, because AI-drafted passages usually need more than sentence-level correction.

Do you check figures and tables?

Yes, our editing is not only about correct English grammar. Our English editing is about supporting you to get your paper published and help the readers understand your research. Therefore, we check figure captions and labels; information in tables and we check that text descriptions match equations. We also check the text descriptions match graphs and charts.
