Bring audio that sounds like your event.
Choose a few minutes of recording you have permission to share, ideally with the same speakers or format. List the exact language pairs you need, such as Arabic to English. Text and audio availability can differ by language, so check both.
Invite a bilingual reviewer for each language. They judge whether a listener would understand what the speaker meant; different wording is fine.
Time each stage separately.
Live translation arrives in stages. Note when each appears.
The speaker says
We won’t start before 9:30.
Source text appears first
We won’t start before…
In the speaker’s language.
A translated preview
لن نبدأ قبل…
It can change as the sentence continues.
The finished translation, then audio
لن نبدأ قبل التاسعة والنصف.
Audio is made from the finished text, so it comes later.
Our published estimates cover text only: about 1 second for source text and 2.4 seconds for the first translation, measured to our captured feed. Spoken audio was not measured.
Test worksheet.
Agree with your reviewers what counts as a fail before you start. A changed meaning, a wrong name or figure, or a lost negation usually does.
| Sample | Task | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| The main talk | Run it through each language pair | Can a listener follow the argument? |
| A panel or Q&A turn | Include a speaker change and a question from the floor | Each reply still makes sense |
| Names and numbers | Use real names, dates and figures | Each one is correct |
| A negation | Pick a line with “not” or “never” | The meaning is not reversed |
| A dialect | Use a speaker who sounds like your event | Reviewers who know the dialect agree |
| Joining | Scan the QR code, choose a language, listen with headphones | Each step is clear without help |
Then rehearse in the room.
A desktop demo shows translation quality and the listener screens. It does not prove your venue’s network, how many phones can join or how your sound feed behaves.
At the rehearsal, join by QR code from the seats on venue Wi-Fi and mobile data, and listen in each language. Agree what the operator does if the connection fails.
Where accredited interpretation is required, or a mistake would have serious consequences, keep a human interpreter and plan their role in advance.
What to send for a quote.
- Date, city and time zone.
- Rooms and the session schedule, including sessions that overlap.
- Audience size, the languages spoken and the languages needed.
- Outputs: phones, venue screens, livestream captions or a headset system.
- The support and hardware you need included.
Common questions.
What delay should we expect?
It varies with the language, speaker and connection, and audio comes after the text. Time each stage in your demo.
Is there a per-event price?
Send the details above and ask for a written quote that lists what is included.
