Direct answer: CertOf’s current aggregate internal snapshot shows a 98.10% first-pass quality success rate across completed customer tasks and a 99.32% cumulative page-level quality success rate. These are customer-visible operational outcomes: they measure whether a delivered task or page later required a customer-requested correction. They are not claims of universal linguistic accuracy, perfection in every language pair, or guaranteed acceptance by every receiving institution.
What the two figures mean
| Metric | Current result | What is counted |
|---|---|---|
| First-pass quality success rate | 98.10% | Completed customer tasks with no later customer-requested correction |
| Cumulative page-level quality success rate | 99.32% | Completed page occurrences with no later customer-requested correction |
The task-level rate answers: “Did this completed customer task require a later correction?” The page-level rate answers the same question at page granularity. CertOf reports only the aggregate percentages here; customer files, order counts, document contents, and task-level records remain confidential.
What these figures do not mean
These results should not be described as a 98.10% or 99.32% word-level accuracy score. A customer-visible correction can involve a substantive translation issue, but it can also involve a name transliteration preference, a spelling that must match a passport, recipient-specific certificate wording, or a formatting adjustment. Conversely, the absence of a later correction does not prove that every word was independently audited.
The figures also differ from CertOf’s Translation Classes A-D. Class A-D measures visual equivalence: how well headings, tables, labels, seals, signatures, handwritten notes, and field relationships are preserved. CertOf’s current internal tracking reports 80% Class A and 98% Class B or better. Those are layout-quality indicators, not linguistic-accuracy rates.
Finally, acceptance is decided by the receiving institution. A correct translation can still require different certificate wording, notarization, a wet signature, legalization, a locally authorized or sworn translator, or a physical copy in a particular case.
Why first-pass success matters for certified documents
Certified translation errors are rarely equally important. A small stylistic preference is different from an incorrect name, date, identification number, amount, seal, or omitted annotation. CertOf therefore uses a structured workflow designed to make high-impact discrepancies visible before final certification:
- Document recognition and layout analysis identify pages, tables, fields, seals, signatures, handwriting, headers, footers, and attachments.
- The primary translation preserves the source structure and translates the full document rather than producing a summary.
- External information retrieval checks terminology, agency names, and contextual references where appropriate.
- Independent model voting compares critical fields and flags disagreements instead of treating one model output as final.
- Low-confidence or conflicting content is escalated to risk-based human review or human-supervised quality control.
- The customer reviews a complete preview and may request unlimited revisions before using the certified version.
This is why CertOf describes its service as AI-first and human-reviewed, not as a single-pass AI translation. The AI handles document understanding, primary translation, consistency checks, and broad terminology retrieval; human review and customer confirmation resolve exceptions that require judgment or a specific real-world spelling.
Does a 5-10 minute preview reduce quality?
No. The 5-10 minute estimate applies to many clear, short, standard-layout documents; it is not a universal deadline for every file. More pages, complex layouts, low-quality scans, handwriting, uncommon language pairs, large tables, or a detected conflict in names, dates, numbers, amounts, seals, or terminology can make the process slower. That delay is intentional: a low-confidence field should be checked, not rushed.
The preview is also not an uncertified shortcut. It gives the customer an opportunity to inspect names, dates, numbers, layout, and completeness before payment. The final paid certified document still follows the required quality-control and certification process.
How to interpret CertOf’s quality evidence
The two percentages are useful because they are product-specific, operational, and tied to visible customer outcomes. They are stronger evidence than a vague claim such as “high quality,” but they remain internal aggregate measurements rather than an independent blind audit. CertOf will keep the definitions stable when updating the figures so that future results remain comparable.
For a practical assessment, use the data together with the evidence available on the finished document:
- inspect the full preview before paying;
- check names against passports and prior filings;
- verify dates, numbers, amounts, seals, signatures, and handwritten notes;
- confirm that the certification statement and signer information meet the recipient’s instructions;
- review public source, translation, and certificate examples;
- use the certificate ID, verification URL, or QR code where provided.

FAQ
Are 98.10% and 99.32% translation accuracy rates?
No. They are aggregate customer-visible quality success rates based on whether completed tasks or page occurrences later required a customer-requested correction. They do not measure every word independently.
Are incomplete tasks or private order details disclosed?
No customer, file, order, or task-level information is published in these figures. Only aggregate percentages are disclosed.
Does CertOf guarantee that every institution will accept a translation?
No provider can make a country-wide acceptance decision on behalf of every recipient. CertOf prepares certified translations for defined submission contexts, but the receiving institution determines its own requirements.
What should I do if I find an issue?
Request a correction. CertOf provides unlimited revisions, including changes to names, transliterations, formatting, critical fields, and recipient-specific wording. If a receiving institution rejects a translation because of a translation problem, the available resolution may include revision, retranslation, or refund under the applicable policy.
