Who it is for

Who is Translate Events for?

1

Conferences and trade shows

Keynotes, breakouts and exhibitor talks for an international audience. Delegates pick their language on their phone and follow every session.

2

Corporate meetings and town halls

All-hands, board and team meetings with colleagues in many countries. Everyone follows in their first language, in the room or at another site.

3

Training and webinars

Courses, onboarding and webinars for learners who speak different languages. Captions help people follow technical terms and re-read a line they missed.

4

Government and public events

Council meetings, public briefings and community events that need to reach residents in many languages. Live captions also help people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Ready before your event. No new equipment.

How does Translate Events work?

  1. 01

    Connect your audio

    Plug a laptop, tablet or phone into your mixing desk, or use its microphone. It only needs audio and an internet connection.

  2. 02

    Share the QR code

    Show it on the stage screen, print it on badges, agendas and signs, or send the link with the invitation. Attendees scan it with their own phone and data, so they do not need the venue Wi-Fi.

  3. 03

    Everyone understands

    Each attendee picks a language, then reads captions or listens to the translation on their own phone.

Accessibility

Translate Events is more than translation.

It also helps people who are deaf, hard of hearing or older. Everyone can follow the whole session, at their own pace, on their own phone.

Deaf and hard of hearing

Live captions of everything that is said, in large text that is easy to read. They can follow the whole session as it happens.

Text in the size you need

Make the text bigger or smaller to suit your eyes. Hold the phone as close as you like.

Follow at your own pace

Missed a line? Scroll back to read it again.

Headphones and listening systems

The audio plays on their phone, so they can use headphones. An organiser can also plug the audio output of a computer or phone into any assistive listening system or transmitter to send it to other devices.

What you get

Built for conferences, meetings and live events.

Many languages at once

Portuguese, Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese and more. Several languages can run in the same session.

Read or listen

Live captions, or a spoken translation through headphones. Attendees can switch whenever they like.

Join with a QR code or link

Works in any phone browser. No app, and no account needed for guests.

Prepare with your own terms

Upload your agenda, speaker notes or glossary ahead of time so names, products and technical terms come out right.

A summary after every session

Hosts get a report with attendance, languages used and a summary of what was said, written with Claude.

Your brand, your dashboard

Add your logo and colours, see who is connected in real time, and manage your hosts from one dashboard.

Getting started and setup

How do we get started?
Join the beta. We will contact you, set it up with you and stay for your first event. It is free at this stage.
How do attendees join?
They scan the QR code or open the link, pick a language and start reading or listening in their phone browser. No app, and no account for guests. It works on iPhone, Android, tablets and laptops.
What equipment and internet do we need?
One device with audio and an internet connection. Translate Events runs in the cloud, so there are no servers or booths to set up. Each attendee uses their own connection, so nobody has to join the venue Wi-Fi, and it uses much less data than a video stream, but the host connection needs to be steady.
Can we connect to the room's mixing desk?
Yes. The host picks any audio input the computer lists, such as the mixing desk feed or a microphone, and can use the left channel, the right channel or both. A direct desk feed gives the best result.
Can we share the venue Wi-Fi details with attendees?
Yes. The organiser can add a Wi-Fi name and password to the venue or session, and attendees see it in the viewer. Attendees do not have to use it, because each person can use their own connection.

Events and sessions

Can remote attendees follow a hybrid event?
Yes. Anyone with the session link or code can follow in a web browser from any place and choose their own language. Streaming platforms delay the video (the stream buffer), so remote attendees can delay captions and audio by 0, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds to match it. To put the captions inside your live stream, Translate Events supports OBS through the app.
How long can one session run?
Up to 12 hours. Viewers are warned 15 minutes before the limit. A session also ends after 60 minutes of silence or with no host connected.
Can we show captions on the main stage screen?
Yes. The host opens the big-screen page on the screen computer, or any viewer can use full-screen TV mode, with adjustable text size, number of lines and Dark, Light or Projector themes.
Can we use the captions with OBS for a live stream?
Yes. The Translate Events desktop app can send live captions to OBS as a browser source, so you can add them to your live stream, with their own size, lines and position. Attendees in the room still follow on their own phones.

Languages and accuracy

Which languages does Translate Events support?
Your speaker can speak in any of 60 languages. Your attendees can read live captions in up to 73 languages, and 61 of them also have a spoken voice. Several languages can run in the same session.
How accurate is the translation?
Very good for spoken content such as keynotes, presentations and meetings. Upload your agenda, speaker notes or glossary before the event so names, products and technical terms come out right. In our tests the AI is pretty good at separating music and noise from speech, although heavy background noise and overlapping speakers are still harder than clear speech. A direct feed from the mixing desk always gives the best result.
How do we make product names and acronyms come out right?
Upload your agenda, notes or glossary before the event: PDF, Word, text, Markdown, HTML or image files up to 750 KB, plus term lists and fixed translations for names.
How long is the delay?
Captions follow the speaker about a second or two behind. The host can tune the speed, and online viewers can add a delay to match a video stream.

Accessibility and confidentiality

Can attendees read or listen, and does it help people who are deaf or hard of hearing?
Both. Attendees can read live captions in large text, or listen to a spoken translation on their phone with headphones, and switch whenever they like. An organiser can also plug the audio output of a computer or phone into any assistive listening system or transmitter to send it to other devices. Captions let people who are deaf or hard of hearing follow the whole session.
Who can follow our session, and is it confidential?
Anyone who has the session code, QR code or link can follow it, so share them only with your attendees. A venue can be set to unlisted, which keeps its sessions out of public listings but not away from people who have the link. If your event is confidential, tell us when you join the beta.

Reports and branding

Do we get a report after the event?
Yes. Hosts get a report with attendance, languages used and a summary. The host can edit the transcription and summary, choose recipients, then approve and send it.
Can we add our logo and colours?
Yes. The organiser adds a logo and colours to its venue page.
