Using Technology to Communicate More Efficiently Across Languages and Audiences

Clear, effective communication is no longer optional—it’s essential. Educational institutions, healthcare providers, government agencies, and businesses are all serving increasingly diverse audiences, often across multiple languages and communication styles. With the right technology in place, organizations can communicate more efficiently, more accurately, and with greater confidence.

As a technology partner, PERRY proTECH helps organizations identify and implement communication solutions that are both cost-effective and easy to use—without sacrificing clarity or reach.

Breaking language barriers with smart translation technology.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, roughly 10% of public school students are English Language Learners (ELL). The U.S. Census Bureau reports that more than 68 million people in the United States speak a language other than English at home. These numbers highlight a growing need for translation solutions that work quickly and reliably.

The Lexmark Translation Assistant, developed by Lexmark, is designed to help organizations navigate today’s multilingual environment with ease. This real-time document translation software allows users to translate written materials into up to 30 different languages in just minutes—making it easier to communicate clearly both internally and externally.

Because it isn’t limited to a single industry, the Lexmark Translation Assistant supports a wide range of use cases, including:

Education:

Schools can quickly translate important materials such as teacher communications, schedules, lunch menus, and notices—helping families stay informed and engaged.

Healthcare:

Healthcare providers can reduce confusion and anxiety by translating prescriptions, instructions, informational sheets, and appointment materials so patients better understand their care.

Government:

State and local agencies can keep constituents and employees informed by translating public notices, instructional documents, and internal communications for diverse communities.

Business:

Organizations can reach new markets and better serve customers by producing marketing materials and documents in the languages their audiences actually use.

Increasing engagement with interactive display technology.

Language isn’t the only communication challenge organizations face. How information is presented matters just as much as what is being said.

Interactive display boards offer a powerful alternative to traditional whiteboards and static presentations. Designed to encourage collaboration and participation, interactive display software allows presenters to visually engage their audience in real time. Research published by the National Library of Medicine suggests that approximately 65% of people are visual learners, making visual communication a critical component of effective messaging.

Interactive displays can enhance communication in many environments, including:

Education:

Teachers can capture screenshots from videos, use interactive learning tools, and involve students directly in lessons to increase participation and retention.

Healthcare:

Providers can display scans, images, or diagrams to visually explain diagnoses or procedures, helping patients better understand complex information.

Business:

Teams can use live demonstrations, visuals, and annotations during meetings or presentations to clearly highlight key points and improve collaboration.

Technology that helps you reach and connect.

As technology continues to evolve, PERRY proTECH evolves alongside it—offering customers access to modern tools that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen communication.
