A specialised production partner, not a generalist.
Laydox is a desktop publishing and OCR production partner built for language service providers. We handle the layout, recognition, and prepress stage that sits between translation and delivery — so your projects ship clean, correct, and on time.
Built for one job, done well
We work with language service providers and in-house language teams as their production partner. That focus is deliberate: we are the bench behind the agency, not a competitor to it — we don’t poach your clients. You keep the client relationship; we make the files right. Because we do one thing, we go deep — prepress, OCR, complex layouts, unformatted drawings, and the awkward sources that break automated tools.
A distributed team of specialists
Laydox runs on a large team of DTP and layout specialists working across the world. Each project is matched to the specialist who knows that kind of work best — a technical drawing, a scanned legal contract, a multilingual InDesign package, or an e-learning course all sit with the right hands. Professionals do their best work in the area they know deepest, and the team is built around that principle.
How we work
Send a source file of any quality and any format, and you get back clean, translation-ready layout, delivered on deadline. A firm quote — scope, cost, and complexity — usually comes back within 15 minutes. Finished work is delivered by email or straight into your TMS environment, ready for translation or post-translation layout.
- The right specialist matched to each project
- Firm dates you can promise your own clients
- Any complexity: halftones, heavy vector graphics, unformatted drawings
- Delivery into your workflow, not just as loose files
Confidential by design
Your clients’ documents stay protected. Workstations are password protected, and files are encrypted during processing, transfer, and exchange. We work as a production partner for LSPs and their teams, and we don’t poach your clients. As an EU-based company, confidentiality and data care are part of how we operate, not an afterthought.
Tools and reach
Current professional software operated by experienced specialists — Microsoft Office, the Adobe suite (Acrobat, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop), and CAD tools including AutoCAD, Bentley MicroStation, and KOMPAS-3D. We handle all common DTP and office formats (PDF, DOCX, INDD/IDML, AI, EPS, PSD, DWG) and work across many languages and scripts, from Latin and Cyrillic to CJK and right-to-left.
The company
Laydox is operated by Leitstern Unipessoal LDA, based in Portugal (EU). Company details are on the contact page, and if layout, OCR, or DTP is the stage between your translation and delivery, that is exactly what we are here for.
