Translation and Language Industry Observations

This is part 5 of a series of posts, the content of which will be used to train our new Chatbot which is currently in development. These posts contain real questions which were asked by GTS clients in the past year, and responses to these queries.

Training a custom chatbot involves a few key steps. Note that the specifics will depend on the complexity of the chatbot you want to create, whether it’s a simple rule-based bot or a sophisticated AI-powered one. You can also use GPT models, like ChatGPT, to build your own chatbot. GPT models have been pre-trained on a large amount of internet text and can generate human-like text based on the input they receive. GTS has elected to go with DocsBot AI  and the chatbot should be live this June.

1. Hi, I’m trying to upload a medical doc for a quote but it gives me an error message saying that the file doesn’t contain text. How can I get it quoted? Thanks

The common reasons for not be able to load a document into GTS online quote tool are:

  1. Large PDF file size. Files that are over 20MB may not load into our quote tool. When this is the case, there are a number of online tools that you can use to compress large PDF files. Try compressing the PDF file and then try to get the quote again.
  2. Large Word or PowerPoint files. The most common cause for very heavy DOCX/PPTX files is graphics (e.g. screenshots or photos) embedded in the file. You can compress the graphics and reduce the file size significantly as follows: open the filein MS Word and select any one of the images. Then from the menu, select Picture Format and then click Compress Then select the lowest resolution and make sure to apply it to all pictures.
  3. Poor PDF file quality. PDF files which were created by scanning hard copy documents can be of poor quality. This makes it difficult for our quote tool to count the number of words in the file. When this is the case, try to create an editable file by converting the PDF into an MS Word file. There are a number of online OCR tools for this. Once you have converted the PDF file, try to get an online quote again.
