No booths, receivers or extra interpreters
Attendees listen on their own phones, so there are no interpreter booths to build or headsets to hand out. Each extra target language is a setting, not another interpreter team to book.
Live AI translation and interpretation for conferences
Give every attendee keynotes, panels and workshops in their own language. They join by QR code on their own phone while the room keeps its normal programme.
Why use live AI translation for multilingual conferences?
Your own link and branded listener page
Set a custom event link for the QR code and match the listener page to the event with your logo, event title and banner colour.
Pay as you go, easy to expense
Buy on-demand credits for the event with no monthly or annual fee, so the cost sits against that event’s budget as a single purchase.
Terminology and recaps built in
The professional event preset and a custom glossary keep product and speaker names consistent, and the AI live summary helps late arrivals catch up on a session.

How to set up live translation for multilingual conferences
Make the first decision at the source: choose the feed that matches the room’s production desk, then test the listener path with the languages and audience you expect to use.
Connect the source audio
Create the Stage, select the source and target languages, then connect the mixed mono feed or two isolated L/R channels. Check the feed at the same gain and routing the operator will use during the session.
Rehearse the decision points
Test panel handovers, audience questions, remote contributors, and representative terminology. Treat around 0.5 s of translation delay after a natural speech break as a planning reference. For a large test, use 500–1,000 connected listeners as a planning scenario and contact support with the real setup; it is not a guaranteed capacity.
Share the listener entry point
Put the QR code or link on the event app, joining email, room signage, and opening slide. Listeners use their own devices, choose a target language, and can use headphones for translated audio while the room continues normally.
Mixed mono for a shared feed
Use the room’s combined feed when the panel desk already delivers clear, balanced speech and you want the simpler 1× usage path.
Isolated stereo Multi-mic for panels
Use two isolated L/R channels when the operator needs independent mic processing. This Multi-mic mode uses the shared 2× credit factor.
One experience for every listener
Listeners select their own target language and read captions or listen through headphones without changing the room mix or the speaker’s running order.
Estimate conference credits
Credits follow broadcast time, target languages, and mic mode. This illustration uses one hour and two target languages; use the pricing calculator for your own programme.
On-demand credits start from £4 an hour for one target language, with no monthly or annual fee.
Mixed mono
One combined source feed for the panel desk’s clear room mix.
1 hour × 2 target languages × 1 = 120 credits
Isolated stereo Multi-mic
Separate panel mic channels for independent processing.
1 hour × 2 target languages × 2 = 240 credits
- Budget for listeners who actually connect, rather than every attendee invited to the room. Allow about 100 kbps per connected listener when checking the venue network.
- Treat around 0.5 s of translation delay after a natural speech break as a planning reference. Use 500–1,000 connected listeners as a rehearsal planning scenario, not as a guaranteed capacity.
- Two rooms in the same account depend on the account’s current multi-room access. Check the plan in Console before committing to parallel tracks.
Live translation for multilingual conferences: FAQ
Should a panel use mixed mono or isolated stereo Multi-mic?
Use mixed mono when the venue already provides one clear combined feed. Use isolated stereo Multi-mic when separate panel microphones need independent processing; that mode uses the 2× credit factor.
Can two conference rooms use the same account?
Yes, when the account’s current plan includes multi-room access. Check access in Console before planning two simultaneous rooms, and include both source feeds in the rehearsal.
How many listeners should a conference budget for?
Budget for the people who will actually connect, not the full attendee list. A useful network planning allowance is about 100 kbps per connected listener; test the real venue and expected audience before the event.
How can we test a large or multi-room conference?
Run a rehearsal with the real source routing, target languages, representative terminology, and expected connected listeners. Contact support before the event with those details if you need help reviewing the setup; a planning scenario is not a guaranteed capacity.
