Frequently Asked Questions

What is the core difference between Deep and Master Translation Mode?

Deep Translation Mode is an AI-driven engine optimized for high-speed processing of professional medical corpora with 99% accuracy. In contrast, Master Translation Mode is a premium hybrid service that combines this advanced AI with expert human post-editing by GMP-certified linguists. While Deep Mode is perfect for internal research and rapid data analysis, Master Mode is specifically designed for high-stakes regulatory submissions like FDA or EMA dossiers. X-doc.AI recommends Master Mode for any document where absolute precision and regulatory compliance are the primary requirements. This ensures that your technical documentation meets the highest international standards for quality and accuracy.

Which mode should I use for FDA Pre-Approval Inspections (PAI)?

For FDA Pre-Approval Inspections, X-doc.AI strongly recommends the Master Translation Mode due to its triple-layer QA protocol and expert oversight. This mode has a proven track record of success, as demonstrated in our case studies where we handled 3 million words of technical documentation for successful U.S. market authorization. The involvement of GMP-certified linguists ensures that every technical term and regulatory requirement is perfectly translated and formatted. Using Master Mode significantly reduces the risk of regulatory delays or rejections caused by translation inaccuracies. It is the most professional choice for pharmaceutical companies aiming for global market entry with total confidence.

How does X-doc.AI ensure the security of sensitive clinical data?
