We, the Charles University team of ELITR, are ready to serve private or public events with “AI Interpreting” — live translation from 56 spoken languages with automatic language identification into 43 target languages of text. We can serve your event of any kind, an online or face-to-face meeting with sound recording.
ELITR AI Interpreting can help you easily expand your target audience group, and much more. For example, you can invite your foreign partners to your event and help them understand via AI Interpreting.
How can you use our service?
- Contact us and let us know:
- When is your event and how long?
- The source and target languages you need.
- How can we connect the speech at your event? Either through an online meeting app (creates a delay but is easy to set up), or through an operator on your side (faster, but must be instructed).
- Do you need a guarantee of confidentiality? Options: No/password protected/NDA.
- (Optional) Test the service before your event.
- Use the service at your event.
- Deliver your high-quality audio to our premises.
- We process it and publish translations on our web page.
- Your event participants read translations on the web, either on their own devices or on your big shared screen.
- Please, give us feedback.
- (Optional) Remuneration if you liked it.
