Simultaneous interpretation

Swahili simultaneous interpretation

Whatever language the speaker uses, attendees listen to the talk in Swahili on their own phones and read the captions. No booth to build, no receivers to hand out, no interpreter team per language.

30 broadcast minutes, no card needed

What you get in Swahili

  • Audio and captions

    Attendees choose Swahili, listen through their earphones and read the captions at the same time.

  • About 3.5 seconds

    The Swahili translation reaches attendees in about 3.5 seconds; the measured range is 3.3–3.7 seconds.

  • From 77 languages into Swahili

    The speaker can talk in any of the 77 languages in the catalogue; the translation arrives in Swahili.

  • Backup line

    Swahili also has a second translation line: if the main line falters, the broadcast switches to it without stopping, as long as the speaker's language is recognised on that line too.

  • 5 languages per room

    A room opens up to 5 translation languages at once; each attendee picks their own.

How it works

  1. Open your room and add Swahili to its translation languages.
  2. The speaker talks into the microphone as usual.
  3. Attendees scan the QR code, choose Swahili and start listening.
