#Translation Engines
CatScribe supports multiple engine strategies for different quality, speed, and privacy targets.
#Local Engines
Local engines run entirely on your machine and are best for offline or sensitive projects.
#Hybrid Workflows
Hybrid mode combines local and external providers where appropriate for throughput or linguistic quality.
#Selection Strategy
| Goal | Recommended profile |
|---|---|
| Maximum privacy | Local/offline engine |
| Fast first pass | Hybrid with chapter batching |
| Consistent terminology | Local/hybrid + strong glossary constraints |
