Planning your event
Iran’s constitution names Persian as the country’s official language and script. A programme involving delegates from Iran should distinguish the language they want to follow from the language used by each presenter.
Baian can translate from Persian speech into other supported audience languages. Its Persian audience output is written, so a presenter using the language and a guest asking for spoken translation are separate cases.
The فارسی button goes straight to live text, with no choice to listen. Persian translation runs from right to left and is text only. The surrounding interface remains in English; attendees need to recognise فارسی as the selection that opens their written translation.
Tell invitees choosing this language that they will read throughout the programme. If they expect a spoken interpretation channel, ask whether this text view suits them. A sample on their own phone makes that decision more concrete.

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.
