Planning your event
Malaysia’s constitution names Malay as its national language. Singapore includes Malay among four official languages and specifies Roman script for its national Malay language. Brunei’s published 2022 revised constitution names Malay as its official language.
In Brunei, the official-language text takes precedence if it conflicts with the English constitutional or official texts covered by this provision. Use these country-specific roles to describe the audience, then ask invitees which language they want to follow during the programme.
The question is “Bagaimana anda mahu ikuti?” after selecting Bahasa Melayu. Dengar starts translated audio and Baca opens text. The remaining phone screens use the selected language, so listeners and readers use the same localised navigation.

How long after a sentence ends its finished translation appears.
Baian, on its production Live service.
Measured on Baian’s production Live service from 13 to 15 October 2026, from the end of each spoken sentence to the finished English line in our captured listener feed. Earlier words in a long sentence wait longer than this. Spoken audio arrives a little after the text and was not measured.
Estimated medians: the speaker’s words appear in their own language about 1.0 seconds after they are spoken, and the first translation covering a word about 2.4 seconds after it.
Estimated from our captured listener feed for the same 53 recordings. The capture is incomplete, so some early previews are missing, and previews can still change before the sentence is finished. Times are measured to the feed, not to a phone screen.
Median 2.69 seconds behind the speaker, across 180 speeches.
