No, ComixSuite is a productivity tool for comic book publishers to streamline the translation workflow of their translators, copy-editors and letterers. Our tool allows them to work in a collaborative way, and to automate time-consuming tasks such as copy and paste.
We are in no way trying to replace the work of translators, whose expertise is all the more crucial in literary publishing. Our aim is just to help them work more efficiently, which is why we have simply added an optional automatic pre-translation function for them. It is only there to assist them, and it has been designed in such a way that the translator must expressly validate or invalidate the proposals made by the integrated DeepL module.

For the time being, freelancers can only access ComixSuite by invitation from the publishers or translation/lettering studios they work with, and to whom we market access to the tool.
However, we are considering a suitable offer for independent access to freelancers. Please let us know if you are interested.
At this stage, there are other ways for freelancers to work directly with ComixSuite. We'll tell you more soon, so stay tuned: sign up for our newsletter!
No, our offer is much more flexible: pay only according to the volume of text you need to translate, and without any commitment!
1. To adapt to your production, which can vary greatly from one month to the other. You may also have very long or very short titles, with a lot or little text.
2. To rely on an objective billing criterion, that is much more accurate than an average calculation per page. Thanks to our AI able to count automatically all the words, letters and characters, we apply at the end of each month a price per character for each of your comic books. These statistics are also displayed for each book on your ComixSuite account.
3. To let you free to stop using ComixSuite at any time!
Get an idea of the price (depending on the actual volume of text they contain) between a Webtoon episode, a Manga/Comics chapter or volume.
We offer you a free trial on one of your titles, to test ComixSuite and see how the process goes:
1. Upload your file on your ComixSuite account ("New project" button).
2. Track its delivery on your account within 1 to 3 days, the time for us to correct possible AI errors such as undetected bubbles.
3. Manage your team's access to your translation project: grant or revoke access to your team members, and/or to other organization (eg. a partner studio).
Yes, we release updates once to twice a month, as you can see on our Product Update page.
We listen a lot to our users to constantly improve ComixSuite. Although we have met many of their needs from our launch in early 2022, we know that there are still features they hope to see added soon. Be assured that we are working hard to provide them with the best possible experience.
