What you need
- The sound of the speaker. You connect the microphone output of your hall to your device — with a cable, or over Bluetooth.
- A laptop or a phone with internet. Any web browser. There is nothing to install.
That is all. It takes the sound and translates it — as text on the screen, and as a voice in their earphones.
Why this works well for events
| The problem | With radios and headphones | With phones |
|---|---|---|
| You do not know how many people will come | Buy too few and some people get nothing. Buy too many and you paid for nothing | Any number of people can listen |
| Someone needs a language you did not plan for | You cannot do it on the day | You add it while you are talking |
| You talk in three rooms at the same time | You pay for the machines and the people in every room | One phone or laptop in every room |
| You only talk for four hours a day | You pay for the whole day | You pay only for the hours you talk |
We will be honest with you. For a court, a hospital or a government meeting, a trained person is still the right answer, and this does not take their place. For a conference, a training day or a church event, phones give you many more languages than your money would ever buy — and that is usually the difference between some people understanding and nobody understanding.
What it costs
- Pay by the hour, for each language, and only while you are talking. There is no monthly plan, and you pay nothing between events.
- Any number of people can listen. A hall of 800 costs the same as a room of 12.
- Free credit when you sign up, which is normally enough to test it once or to run your first talk. You do not need a card.
Questions people ask
How many guests can listen at the same time?
You give nothing to anyone, so any number of people can listen. You do not need to know how many people will come.
Can two rooms run at the same time?
Yes. Each room is set up on its own and has its own code. Guests scan the code for the room they are sitting in.
Do we need radios, headphones or a sound person?
No. You connect the microphone output of the hall to a laptop or a phone with internet, with a cable or over Bluetooth. Guests use their own phones, so you have nothing to rent, nothing to carry, nothing to charge and nothing to collect.
What does a three-day event cost?
You pay by the hour, for each language, and only while you are talking. Breaks, lunch and the night cost you nothing.
Can guests read a talk afterwards?
Yes. A talk can be saved as a page in every language it was translated into. This is useful for anyone who was in the other room. You choose this for each talk.
