Personal service, a passion for our craft, and high-tech solutions

What drives us is our desire to be the kind of company of which we would be satisfied customers. This means we set ourselves the highest standards and constantly strive to improve. Most of our clients place their trust in us because our famous Diction blend of personal communication and high-tech solutions means we can do just about anything.

Our principles:

  • Your linguistic needs don’t suddenly down tools and leave at 6 p.m. every Friday. And neither do we. The “night shift” in Canada is on hand to help. It’s not the time of day or the size of your project that dictate whether it’s urgent or not, but you – and you alone. We will also be happy to take on any express projects you may have.
  • We believe that the more closely we work together, the better our work becomes.
  • Whether you send us a 350-page document or a single word, we afford every project the same amount of care and attention. If we were the customer, that’s how we would want things to be done.
  • You might think we’re exaggerating, but we really do border on the pedantic when it comes to getting things right, from spellings to language variants to microtypography. Unless you ask us to spend less time on your text, of course. Your wish is our command.
  • Diction’s QMS processes are regulated and documented in a binding and transparent manner.
  • We work with modern technology such as machine translation, a TMS and an API.
  • We take the protection of your data and information security very seriously.

Maintaining close relationships

Naturally Patrick Fassbender, CEO at Diction, is proud of the company’s steady growth. But what’s really important is working every day to ensure client satisfaction. And when we come together – clients, partners and employees – we can do just that.
