What is TAV?
TAV is a technology which enables you to communicate your availability in real time to our Project Managers.
It allows us to see when you are online and ready to be considered for new translation jobs.
TAV also informs you with a pop-up message when a new job was sent to your inbox.
By simply clicking on the TAV icon (right mouse click for macOS) you can change your availability status from "Green" (you are immediately available to consider a job) to "Red" (you are busy, on holiday or simply do not want additional work), and back.
But that's not all the tool has to offer.
With a right mouse click on the TAV a drop-down menu will appear offering additional possibilities:
  • I'm busy until: Setting your TAV on busy for a longer period, for example when you are on holiday
  • Update my profile: Direct access to the Personal info section of your profile for easy updates
  • Earnings this month: Direct access to the My Jobs section of your profile for an overview of all jobs
How does TAV work?
TAV runs in the background on your PC or MAC.
You can easily recognise the TAV as the small icon in the "system tray" in the lower right (Windows) or top right (macOS) of your screen.
When you are connected to the Internet, TAV sends us a signal every few minutes telling us if you are available for work.
It uses the same internet communication command that your internet browser uses when browsing the web, so you do not need any special communication software.
