In 1989, Word Magic Software was incorporated and company executives were confident of the economic growth potential that was quiescent in Latin America for U.S. businesses, and vice-versa. As a result, Word Magic put forth a significant investment to accelerate both marketing and product development for an eventual release in the U.S Hispanic and International market. In 2000, Word Magic's growth potential became visible as the company received a number of investment and partnering opportunities from U.S.-based companies. Shortly after, Word Magic Software closed its first round of financing from a Costa Rican-based venture capital fund, in addition to other private investors from the U.S.

Word Magic Software, established in 1989 and headquartered in San Jose, Costa Rica, is a software development company that has produced the most advanced English-Spanish translation and communications software in the Global Translation and Communications Industry.
